My Sweet Lucy

 

Losing one pet is hard but losing 2 in 2 weeks is heartbreaking. When I met my beloved, he had 1 pussy cat  and I was more a dog lover than a cat lover but I love all animals so we started a new relationship. 2 weeks into our new relationship, my sweetheart told me he saw a tiny kitten at the pet store who climbed on top of this cat house, knocked the bigger cats off and just looked at him. He knew this pussy cat was a new addition. I was not so happy but what am I to do or say. I met the tiny lass and my heart caved. She was smart, sassy and wouldn't take no for an answer. That was 15 1/2 years ago, I could write so much more about her and my sweet Wallace but I decided to just choose 3 songs that made me think of her. 

1. IN AND OUT  BY GARRISON KEILLOR-1991

While looking for the one below, I came across this funny diddy and does this fit Lucy to a T! She would cry and cry to be let out only to rush back in if it was raining. She knew our boundary and would never leave it, believe it or not. She enjoyed the outside but could be a pain in the butt wanting to go out and in. She was the only one we let out without a harness because she stuck to our lot. One smart kitty.

2. CATS MAY SAFELY SLEEP BY GARRISON KEILLOR & FREDERICA VON STADE- 1991

This song is often played on my Classical 96.6 radio station. Again, this is by Garrison Keillor(the lyrics)  with Frederica Von Stade, a famous Opera singer, giving a lending hand. Lucy did live to sleep especially snuggled up to Nady who is also in heaven. They are God's creatures so why would they not be there. 

3. WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT SUNG BY TOM JONES-1965

I always liked this song which was written by Burt Bacharach(music) and Hal David(lyrics). It's from a movie of the same name that I have yet to see but I will....one day. It's fun snd, for that time, hip. This just reminds me of Lucy.

Amy pussycat songs you like...no Pussycat Dolls...actual pussy cats. And, no, Pussy Galores.
