Why The Cat Sat On The Mat

Why The Cat, Sat On The Mat  
 
Why did the cat, sit on the mat?  
What was its purpose  
We don't know if it was a queen or a tom cat  
Was the mat indoors, or out?  
Was it waiting for a door to open?  
To be (or not) let in or out?  
Was it stopping to go into a deep  
psychoanalytical thought, or philosophy?  
Or perhaps traverse parallel universes?  
Or imagining what it would be like to be human?  
Or a dog, or another cat?  
Or maybe another 'owner' to visit  
For extra food, or hugs?  
Then to my surprise  
The cat stood up  
Looked me straight in the eye  
Then spoke!  
"For goodness sake! Can't a cat, simply sit on a mat?"  
"For no other reason, than to sit?"  
"All i did, was see this mat and thought, i'll sit on that!"  
(Read my next excerpt, on my musings on cats:  
'The Amazing Tales Of A Talking Philosophical Cat  
That Sat On A Mat, titled "I Purr, Therefurr, I Siam!"
