I had been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult. It's not. Mine had me trained in two days.

Bill Dana’s joke turns the usual “training a pet” narrative upside down. The speaker begins with a familiar complaint—cats are hard to train—then delivers the punchline that the cat has actually trained the human. The humor depends on a widely recognized stereotype of feline independence and selective obedience, contrasting with the idea that humans control domestic animals. Beyond the gag, the line wryly acknowledges how relationships with pets often involve accommodation and routine-shaping on the owner’s side: feeding schedules, attention demands, and household rules quietly become the cat’s rules. It’s a compact comic observation about power, habit, and who adapts to whom.
