And so shall all proper Men do after me ! ' Then the Dog said , ` Wait a minute . He has not made a bargain with me or with all proper Dogs after me . ' And he showed his teeth and said , ` If you are not kind to the Baby while I am in the Cave for always and always and always , I will hunt you till I catch you , and when I catch you I will bite you . And so shall all proper Dogs do after me . ' ` Ah , ' said the Woman , listening , ` this is a very clever Cat , but he is not so clever as the Dog . ' Cat counted the Dog 's teeth -LRB- and they looked very pointed -RRB- and he said , ' I will be kind to the Baby while I am in the Cave , as long as he does not pull my tail too hard , for always and always and always . But still I am the Cat that walks by himself , and all places are alike to me . ' ` Not when I am near , ' said the Dog . ` If you had not said that last I would have shut my mouth for always and always and always ; but now I am going to hunt you up a tree whenever I meet you . And so shall all proper Dogs do after me . ' Then the Man threw his two boots and his little stone axe -LRB- that makes three -RRB- at the Cat , and the Cat ran out of the Cave and the Dog chased him up a tree ; and from that day to this , Best Beloved , three proper Men out of five will always throw things at a Cat whenever they meet him , and all proper Dogs will chase him up a tree . But the Cat keeps his side of the bargain too . He will kill mice and he will be kind to Babies when he is in the house , just as long as they do not pull his tail too hard . But when he has done that , and between times , and when the moon gets up and night comes , he is the Cat that walks by himself , and all places are alike to him . Then he goes out to the Wet Wild Woods or up the Wet Wild Trees or on the Wet Wild Roofs , waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone . PUSSY can sit by the fire and sing , Pussy can climb a tree , Or play with a silly old cork and string To ` muse herself , not me . But I like Binkie my dog , because He Lnows how to behave ; So , Binkie 's the same as the First Friend was , And I am the Man in the Cave . Pussy will play man-Friday till It 's time to wet her paw And make her walk on the window-sill -LRB- For the footprint Crusoe saw -RRB- ; Then she fluffles her tail and mews , And scratches and wo n't attend . But Binkie will play whatever I choose , And he is my true First Friend .
Pussy will rub my knees with her head Pretending she loves me hard ; But the very minute I go to my bed XXXXX runs out in the yard , And there she stays till the morning-light ; So I know it is only pretend ; But Binkie , he snores at my feet all night , And he is my Firstest Friend !
