She was not let in to the warm warm house,
and her tiny cries were ignored.
Twas a blizzard now, the worst of the year,
there was no place for her to go.

Just then a poor little mouse crept by,
he had lost his way in the snow.
He was on his last leg and was almost froze,
the cat lifted him with her paws.

She said poor mouse do not be afraid,
because this is Christmas Eve.
On this freezing night, we both need a friend.
I wont hurt you, stay by my side.

She dug a small hole in an icy drift,
this is where they wouls spend the night.
She curled herself round her helpless friend
Protecting him from the cold.

When Santa came by near the end of the night,
the Reindeer started to cry...
they found the cat lying there in the snow,
and they could see that she had died.

They lifted her up from the cold cold ground,
amd placed her into the sleigh
It was then they saw the little mouse wrapped up,
she kept him warm in her fur.

"Oh thank you Santa for finding us,
Dear cat wake up we are saved."
I'm sorry mouse but your friend has died
There's nothing more we can do.

On Christmas Eve she gave you life
The greatest gift of them all
Santa Lifted her up in to the night sky
and layed her to rest among the stars.

They said little mouse now please don't cry
you will see your friend every year.
Each Christmas a cat constellation will shine...
to remind us that her love's still here.
