I wonder if dogs and cats leave signs like hoboes:

WATCH OUT FOR DOG.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. OLD NUT WITH GUN.
GOOD FOR A HANDOUT.

And stars like a Michelin guide:

FOOD CLOTHES MONEY AND SMOKES. A PRINCE.
CHOW AND DRINK. A KING.

I noticed no stray dogs came around the Stone House:

FUCKING CAT HOUSE.

— William S. Burroughs, “The Cat Inside”
