I strut right by with my tail in the air

I don’t bother chasing mice around.

I wish I could be so carefree and wild.

Still I got cat class, and I got cat style…

Just an observation.

Just watch out for the shoes being thrown at you by a mean old man.

You get your dinner from a garbage can? Ick!

I love that song! Now it’s my earworm for the day!

This reminds me of a thread from a couple years ago in which the song lyrics were overanalyzed to death in that way we Dopers like to do:

I want a fish skeleton.

Maybe on a platter.

:thinking:

Kinda funny. I didn’t mention this thread at all. Wasn’t even thinking about it.

Guess what band my wife told Alexa to play last night. I have never heard her ask for the Stray Cats. Never.

I fronted a garage band that did this one more than a few times.

That means that I got cat class and I got cat style. Hey, I don’t bother chasin’ mice around. I sing the blues while the lady cats cry, “Hey, stray cat, you’re a real gone guy.”

Fun song. Thanks for reminding me of it.

I can see your spoons flying! @Spoons

Wow!

I liked their band. A guitar, a double bass and a very spare drum kit. That’s it.

I’ve got a stray cat in my neighborhood who occasionally hangs out on my porch. I call him Brian.

He also sometimes hangs out under the porch, which makes my dog quite cross.

Any idea why the dog is more cross about a cat under the porch than about a cat on the porch?

That was jtur88. :smiley:

:: golf clap ::

The cat only hangs out on the porch when the dog is inside.

Happy birthday @Chefguy !! :balloon:

Thanks! Entering my eighth decade.

No matter how warm the smile on the face of the sun, the cat still has her kittens under the porch.

I saw them Back in the Day and they put on a hell of a show. Twirling a double bass while slapping it, that must take some practice.

Thanks to this thread, I now have Stray Cat Strut embedded in my brain. Along with Hit The Road Jack, Runaway, and One More Cup of Coffee…
