I was telling a friend of my new kitten's proclivity towards frantic activity around 3 to 4 AM and she said that that's a well known syndrome. So well, that GK sang a song on PHC one night titled 'Catown Races' or some such with lyrics similar to: Catown races on my bed, do da, do da, Kitty cats running over my head, etc, etc. Does anyone have a recording of this? I'd like a copy. Chris

From the "Songs of the Cat" songbook, the songbook that explores the many different facets of the cat experience. You should like this one especially if you are part of a multi-cat living situation, and if you are easily awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of hooves. "The Cat Town Races" The cats at our house sing this song: Meow, Meow. They run their races all night long. Oh me, oh my. Going to race all night, (chorus) Going to sleep all day. Up on the bed comes the bobtail cat, Up on the bed comes the grey. From the kitchen, down the hall, they take a right And upstairs, upstairs. The cat-town race track runs all night Until it's breakfast time. (chorus) Down to the basement and around the furnace And upstairs, upstairs. Thundering paws on the bathroom turn as CRASH goes the aftershave. (chorus) I sit up in bed and it's 5:48 A.M., A.M. They come out again from the starting gate On the front hall straightaway. (chorus) Sounds like the bobtail pulled ahead By one length, two lengths. They dash through the door and across the bed; My feet are the finish line. (chorus) The sun comes up and I go downstairs For coffee, coffee. Exhausted cats on the living room chairs Stretched out like big fur sacks. (chorus) [Words and introduction by Garrison Keillor] I don't think you will find this on any of the albums. | |||||

As the owners of 6 cats, one of which was almost renamed Shi'ite beacause of his terrorist tactics at night, we have to say this is great and will soon get printed and framed. tlh and Gary | |||||

Ok, but don't sell it. Copyright probably held by Keillor and/or Minnesota Public Radio. | |||||

Re: .4 -- I think you've got it wrong -- you're the "ownees" of the cats, not the "owners" -- right? Tom | |||||
