Apparently, the only songs I know about cats were written while I was in high school.  Not that this is a bad thing, I’m just starting to feel a little dated on my musical knowledge.

Today’s song comes from The Karl Hendricks Trio, an indie band out of Pittsburgh.  Written in 1993, How’s the Cat? is the final track on their Some Girls Like Cigarettes album.  Unfortunately I couldn’t find either a video or a link to the song anywhere on the internet.  I did, however, upload the track myself so you can grab an MP3 of it here.  You can also go listen to the whole album on Spotify here.

Lyrics:

How’s the cat?

I haven’t seen her in awhile, and it makes me sad

‘Cause I always used to smile

When I saw her walking across the floor to me

Stumbling on those little kitty feet

Do you still get mad, when she fucks up all your stuff?

Well, that’s too bad

That cat was never good for much

But I sure could use her with me right now

A little warmth might really help me out.

And I’m not gonna ask about you

‘Cause I can tell that you’re getting kinda bored

And I’m not gonna ask about all that other stuff

Guess it doesn’t really matter anymore

So…how’s the cat?

Would she remember who I am?  Well, that’s too bad.

Cats sure are fickle friends

But I remember when she was walking across the floor to me

Stumbling on those little kitty feet.
