Thanks, Sharon, for the referral. Sounds like a gr-r-r-reat thr-r-read!

Thanks, by the way, to all you folks for your suggestions. Many of them --e.g., Alley Cat, Kitten On The Keys, Stray Cat Strut, The Cat In The Window --I'm familiar with but they had slipped my mind.

I'm eager to find that Ring-Tailed Tom song.

As a cat lover, I find some of the dead cat songs a bit disturbing -- but some are hilarious, too. (Kind of reminds me of the dead-baby joke craze of a few years back.) When my cats 'perfume' my carpet or use by laptop case as a scratching pad, I am nearly inspired to write one of my own. But then the little devils come up and snuggle and purr and, what can I say? (Reminds me of some old boyfriends.)
