When first I met this cute feline
This rotund lad who now is mine
He was a furry little ball
He was not hardly there at all
But in a little while with care
I knew that he was really there
I had myself a total cat
And the whole wide world to share

And so we share a nice big house
I do the work, he dreams of mouse
We get along as real friends should
Sometimes we're bad, more often good
I treat him with the best of care
He showers me with used cat hair
He loves me too, or loves his food
And keeps me in a happy mood
And so it is and this is that
I'm going to let him keep my hat
