Hi, Carly:

Glad you came in to sit down for awhile and join in the conversation... yes indeed, cats can take control of your life. In the long run you live with your cats. They don't live with you.

I wrote a children's song, each verse for a cat I knew (or owned.)

This verse was for my cat, Jennie:

"Old lady Jennie,
She'll kiss you for a penny
If you're feeling sad and blue
She'll even take an I.O.U."

My other cat at that time was named Barney, who I sometimes called Beeswax:

"Old Uncle Beeswax
Never paid his income tax
Got a letter in the mail
Threw him in the county jail"

The song was a lot of fun, as all my friends with cats wanted a verse written for them...
