So no one told us he was gonna be this way
This cat’s a joke, and blokes
Are all frightened away
It's like he’s always stuck in psycho gear
And he won’t behave today, this week, this month or even this year, but ...

We’ll be there for him
When the vet bills pile in
We’ll be there for him
Gonna bear it and grin
We’ll be there for him
If not us, well then who?

When we’re in bed asleep
His screams ring through the night
He knows we need our rest, but
He don’t give a shite
Nobody warned us there'd be cats like this
And although he’s cute it’s really clear how much he’s taking the piss, but ...

We’ll be there for him
Even though he’s so odd
We’ll be there for him
What a weird little sod
We’ll be there for him
If not us, well, then who?

No one could ever know him
No one could ever read him
Not even Satan has a clue
What it's like to be him
We’re knocking back the French wine
‘Cos of this crazy feline
But, you know what, it’s all fine
And if it weren’t us it could be you ... yeah ...

It's like he’s always stuck in psycho gear
And he won’t behave today, this week, this month or even this year

We’ll be there for him
Though he drives us both mad
We’ll be there for him
Guess it’s not all that bad
We’ll be there for him
If not us, well then who?

Bon anniversaire, little sod.

    What a nice declaration of love to your little sod.
    Congratulations for your verse and today’s picture; both of them are terrific.

      Merci! He’s had quite the morning and is sleeping off the last bit of mischief so that he can be ready for the next.

    They are a blessing, no matter what. I think you are learning patience with Louis Catorze, not a bad lesson to learn.

          I do mix up his pictures sometimes, with some less recent ones being used for special occasions if I like them. 😊

    Joyeux anniversaire King Louis 🙂 You look very magestic and gorgeous, as usual! Miss Penny also sends her best wishes for a happy birthday and a very long life! And she’s mad at me because I never celebrate her birthday, poor thing!

          December is party month! Maybe she deserves a whole month of celebration?
