When it comes to training‚ dogs are by far easier and more trainable than cats. Have you ever seen a cat sit or meow on command? Even though dogs do have a longer

In the short story The Black Cat‚ there are a few symbols represented throughout the story. The one that I think is the most interesting is the Black Cat itself.
