There's also the "King of Rome" parody which is in the DT, which goes:-

In the west end of Hayes there lives a working man,
Who says, I can't fly, but my moggy can.
And when my cat gets free, he comes flying back to me,
Lifted up by next door's toe.

"Cat's in the kettle" has been mentioned in Mudcat before. I don't think Weird Al wrote it, I think it was someone (the Ill Eagles IIRC). And there's a Flash animation for it too.

You may have guessed, I'm not a cat lover. They're nice and fluffy, yes, but they dig in your garden, shit on your lawn, kill other animals for fun, try to get in your house to "mark their territory", and if you live in a shared house with a cat-owner then the cats inevitably piss and crap everywhere, in every corner of room of the house (and your room is no exception), except for wherever the litter tray is. To quote Terry Pratchett, "If cats looked like toads, we'd see them for the evil little bastards they really are".

And then there's the cat owner attitude. Ppl in flats or small houses can't keep dogs, bcos you can't give a dog enough room to exercise, and it's wrong to just let your dog loose to wander round where it wants and shit everywhere. But somehow cat owners think it's OK to let a cat do the same. Go figure. Not to be nasty, I just don't think a cat is a suitable pet in any area where you have neighbours to consider. Farms, yes - towns, no.
