  • You've heard of several kinds of cat
    And my opinion now is that
    You should need no interpreter
    To understand our character
    You've learned enough to take the view
    That cats are very much like you
    You've seen us both at work and games
    And learnt about our proper names
    Our habits and our habitat
    But how would you address a cat?
    So first, you’ll memory I'll jog
    And say: A cat is not a dog
    Now dogs pretend they like to fight
    They often bark, more seldom bite
    But yet a dog is, on the whole
    What you would call a simple soul
    The usual dog about the town
    Is much inclined to play the clown
    And far from showing too much pride
    Is frequently undignified
    He's such an easy-going lout
    He'll answer any hail or shout
    The usual dog about the town
    Is much inclined to play the clown
    Again I must remind you that
    A dog's a dog, a cat's a cat
    With cats, some say one rule is true
    Don't speak 'til you are spoken to
    Myself I do not hold with that
    I say you should address a cat
    But always bear in mind that he
    Resents familiarity
    You bow, and taking off your hat
    Address him in this form: "O' cat!"
    Before a cat will condescend
    To treat you as a trusted friend
    Some little token of esteem
    Is needed, like a dish of cream
    And you might now and then supply
    Some caviar, or Strasburg pie
    Some potted grouse or salmon paste
    He's sure to have his personal taste
    And so in time you reach your aim
    And call him by his name
    So this is this, and that is that
    And there's how you address a cat
    A cat's entitled to expect
    These evidences of respect
    So this is this, and that is that
    And there's how you address a cat
