Cat Out of Sight, On My Mind

lyrics

You showed up at my door at the perfect time, three weeks after Chewi and me said bye. A new black cat but you’re younger and male. Koneko Gatito’s now your name.

Got you collar and tag then to the vet for your shots, but neutered already been. Watched you grow shiny, big, and healthy. Lounging out back door, new peaceful routine.

Where are you when I’m not with you?

You’re an open book missing half the pages. Did you have a home once?; you’re litter trained. Prefer outdoors, never stay round for long. Out of sight then find on neighbor’s lawn.

You leap from shadows and chase me home! Not so cute when you wake me in the morn: Bloody, half-eaten bird on bedroom floor. Try to keep you in you’ll claw your way out.

Where do you go? I don’t know! I’d ask you now! You’ll just meow!

Admire indie spirit but wish you’d cuddle. Now I worry as you’re getting thinner. This other mean cat keeps fighting with you. Guess you got sick of him, decided to move. Have not seen you for days, now weeks, now months.

Where are you now I’m not with you? Where are you now I’m missing you?
