I heard an interesting song on the CBC's Definitely Not the Opera today called The Cat Carol, from a Compilation of Canadian Christmas Songs. It could be on the Funniest song you've ever heard or the Songs that make you cry thread, depending on your bent or frame of mind. Does anyone know of it or have the lyrics?

It's by Meryn Cadell. Shouldn't be hard to find the words.

Well, this one doesn't bring me to tears...but it is a "Cat Christmas Carol" ..... is this it?

Words and Music by Ted Hutchinson

Said the cat to the mouse, in their dark little house,
In that stable so long ago,
"I am wondering why that bright star in the sky
Is shining upon us down below."

And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When Love came down to the earth;
And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When the Baby King had his birth.

Said the mouse to the cat, as in wonder they sat,
And they saw Mary's face filled with joy,
"Perhaps that star we can see is to tell you and me,
Of the coming of this precious little boy."

And the night skies rang...

Sleepy shepherds they saw as they crept through the door
And they brought little gifts to the child.
As they gazed with love on the child from above,
Mary turned to the shepherds and smiled.

And the night skies rang...

So they happily sat, little mouse, little cat,
As they heard Mary singing to her son,
As she cradles with care, little Jesus so fair,
This baby, the Lord's chosen one.

And the night skies rang...

Nope, don't think thats it. The one I heard had the cat freezing to death in the snow but saving the life of his mouse friend and Santa Claus relegating the dead cat to a position of a constellation in the sky so the mouse would always be reminded of his friend or something along those lines.
