Hello, Dear Clementine and Fritzi

It seems like ages since I wrote

But even though we've all be so very busy

I just had to drop you cats a note

August 4th my Tommy's turning 7

Poor boy he thinks he's getting gray

We have a party planned

Come join us if you can

Leave town, fly down

For the Kitty Kitty Holiday

 

We're so busy making preparations

Candy's called the caterers from Queens

We even had the woodshed stocked with church mice

For those who like that kind of thing

Norton hired the TipTop Tabby Dance Band

You know how well those cats can play

We're looking forward to

Having a dance with you

Circle the date, come celebrate

The Kitty Kitty Holiday

 

We've ordered tuna fresh from Laguna

It's very good this year they say

I know a lion who lives in Zion

Who says he's dyin to keep the dogs away

(He's really just a pussy)

 

Uncle Manx is flying down from Pittsburg

Lately he's been into Chairman Meow

But when he smells

Aunt Jezabel's lobster newburg

I doubt he'll ask for kitty chow

You know he had distemper in December

The vets tell us he'll be okay

He'd love to see you all

Why not give him a call

He'll be fine in plenty of time

For the Kitty Kitty Holiday

 

 

We'll get our dairy from Cousin Harry

He asks about you every day

He had a bad trip and almost had to quit

Just too much catnip, I'm afraid

(it really is a pity)

 

We took in a movie by Fellini

Up at Cannes it made the critics rave

I thought the plot was good

But not worth that howling

Tom says he's not into Mew Wave

 

I guess that's all the news that is amusing

And I've got this salmon to filet

We miss you very much

Be well and keep in touch

Stay cool and we'll see you

At the Kitty Kitty Holiday
