The parody "My Grandmother's Cat" that is in the DT should I believe properly credit Garrison Keillor as the writer. It appears on "Prairie Home Comedy, Radio Songs and Sketches by Garrison Keillor" (1988, PHC 21302) and also on "Songs of The Cat" by Garrison Keillor and Frederica von Stade (1991 HBP 17398). Interestingly the little short "chorus" lines are different on the two recorded versions, which in turn differ in part from the lyrics in the DT. Probably one of those cases where GK came up with clever new couplets each time he did it.
