Kliban by B. Kliban for December 15, 2014

The muzak is playing “How Much is That Doggy in the Window” followed by “Alley Cat.”

“It’s like we don’t speak the same language anymore.”

The awkward moment in the elevator. What do their hearts really desire?Or who farted?

Are going up to the pethouse suite?

Keep your tails clear of the doors.

What’s new Pussycat?

And at that moment the dog remembered what his dear old mother used to say..“Never……ever…date outside of your species.”
