A Panzerism

Panzer on the Zen of teaching cats:
 
When you tell a dog to sit,
it means he can relax and get off
his feet for a minute.
 
But ...
if you tell a cat to sit, 
that cat has to wake up, stretch,
A Panzerism joke about teaching a cat to sit.
Listen to me ... It's not going to happen*.
and ...
then get up to sit.
 
So I think you can take sit off the list of things to teach a cat to do.
