lyrics

I don’t have a cat! Now that is such a shock.
Explain that I am tethered to a wandering heart.
Do not want to live with humans, but that means…
When I’m away, who will care for kitty’s needs?
Accept what I've sacrificed, yet this one thing…
Makes me think if I were “normal,” what could have been.

Crying eyes in cat food aisles.
Cat eyes gaze at me.
Wish for feline on my list.
To buy her some treats.
Shopping just for me.

More than ever I am missing love I’ve known…
When in past a cat has shared my own home.
Waking with a ball of purring fur on chest.
Nothing says “I love you” like a bite on nose.
Now we are all stuck inside till danger’s past.
“I’m lonely, can I borrow one of your cats?”

Crying eyes in cat food aisles.
We’re all wearing masks.
Only place I go to now.
Behind plexiglass.
Cashier’s always number one.
Remember when we hugged.

Thankful that I can still walk around St. Pete.
Say “hi” to those Uptown cats, always distancing.
Some day I will see my friends and their cats again.
Spoopy will bask in my pets until she swats.
Have you heard, Sunshine Catfe is open now.
Got two tickets to meow-adise, do you want to go?

Crying eyes in cat food aisles.
Cat eyes gaze at me.
This time treats are on my list.
For cat hope to meet.
I bet she’ll like these.
