[00:04.607]You've heard of several kinds of cat
[00:08.904]And my opinion now is that:
[00:13.034]You should need no interpreter to understand our character
[00:21.189]You've learned enough to take the view
[00:25.364]That cats are very much like you
[00:29.357]You've seen us both at work and games
[00:33.747]And learnt about our proper names
[00:37.224]Our habits and our habitat
[00:41.916]But how would you address a cat?
[00:49.765]So first, your memory I'll jog
[00:56.013]And say: a cat is not a dog
[01:02.495]So first, your memory I'll jog
[01:08.662]And say: a cat is not a dog
[01:18.359]With cats, some say one rule is true
[01:24.143]Don't speak 'til you are spoken to
[01:29.891]Myself I do not hold with that
[01:33.043]I say, you should address a cat
[01:36.156]But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity
[01:47.340]You bow, and taking off your hat, address him in this form:
[01:57.555]"Oh, Cat"
[02:02.211]"Oh, Cat"
[02:05.573]Before a cat will condescend to treat you as a trusted friend
[02:13.127]Some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream
[02:20.344]Oh, you might now and then supply
[02:23.537]Some caviar or Strasbourg pie
[02:27.409]Some potted grouse or salmon paste
[02:31.038]He's sure to have his personal taste
[02:34.741]And so in time you reach your aim
[02:38.518]And call him by his name
[02:44.361]
[02:47.033]A cat's entitled to expect these evidences of respect
[02:56.961]So this is this, and that is that
[03:03.792]And that's how you address a cat
