My best friend in the world right now... is my cat. We have literally spent the past 20 years side by side. He's my companion, pet, and trusted confidant. This song is all about how important a feline companion is to me. I cannot imagine living without one.
"If You Love a Cat…" I woke up this mornin’… My best friend holding my hand… I pulled him in closer… His purr pulsing through my soul… He hugged my wrist tighter… I nuzzled his little head… He trilled in pure gratitude… For twenty years of friend-ship… If you love a cat… They will always love you back… When you love a kitty… They don’t care if you’re not pretty. [chorus] They say a dog is man’s best friend… But I’ll argue with them until the end… A cat may be like a wild child - running free… But they’re the perfect mate for a home-body… Like me… I held my best friend to my chest… His soft warm cheek against my chin… Tickling whiskers - a welcome sensation… His soft meow - a love declaration… He clung to me even tighter… His claws retract-ed, the way I taught him… Nuzzling my knuckles, slowly blinking… And I knew - just what he was thinking… If you love a cat… They will always love you back… The sound of their meow… Pushes away all stress - and doubt… [chorus] I say a cat is man’s best ally… If you prefer dogs, that’s perfectly fine… I dare anyone to argue the joy of a cat’s purr As they snuggle up to you with their feather-soft fur… ? Is worse? I wake up every mornin’… My best friend holding my hand… His paws wrapped around my wrist… His purr pulsing through my soul… He hugs my arm even tighter… I nuzzle his cheek the way he likes it… He looks me directly in the eyes… Slow-blink to tell me just how he feels… [chorus] The trick to keeping your fee-line healthy and alive… Twenty years or more, they will survive… A quarter cup of water mixed into their meat… Hydration is the ultimate key… For life… If you love a cat… They will always love you back… When you love a kitty… They don’t care if you’re not pretty. If you love a cat… They will always love you back…
