I'm beginning to suspect Jingle Cats was a fake. All attempts so far to get the boys to sing on command have failed dismally. I even composed a song about the feral cat they saw outside shivering in the snow to the tune of Phil Collins' Another Day in Paradise. I sang it to them with great poignancy. "See the cat with the snow on his fur/ You can see he's been crying" (OK, I'm pretty sure cats
don't cry - but I wanted to reach the boys emotionally)"Seeking warmth in the cold and the night/ you can see he's been trying/
(Not the strongest lyric, I admit - but it reinforces the feral cat's plight to the fur-faces) Now comes the part they're supposed to help me with - the chorus. "Meow once" (They're supposed to meow here.) "Meow twice" (they go "meow, meow" here obviously)
"It's just another day for you and me in Paradise". You'd have to be a kitten with a heart of stone not to be moved. I tear up just writing about it right now. But do you think I could get a single meow in the right place when we rehearsed it? Just blinking. Maybe it's Phil Collins, he's definitely "out" right now and the boys know it. They're up on all the latest things. They'd probably prefer "If I was the only cat in the world" by Rihanna. I'll work up some lyrics later today. xxx dad
