This song is about a character in Seannan McGuire's October Daye books. Again, if you like urban fantasy, Seannan is an author to watch for. She also writes horror under the name Mira Grant.

lyrics

The King of the Cats
lyrics and melody by Cat Faber 2012

The King of the Cats has many abodes
Scattered along the Shadow Roads,
The entrance shows, and then it scats,
It answers to the King of the Cats.

The King of the Cats is mighty free,
Keeping the strangest company.
They're all decked out in spikes and tats;
They answer to the King of the Cats.

The King of the Cats the shadow veils,
Even my own cats carry tales.
They aren't much as diplomats;
They answer to the King of the Cats.

The King of the Cats with Trouble sports
His people comprise the Shadow Courts.
Like ninja pirate acrobats,
They answer to the King of the Cats.

The King of the Cats won't go away;
Fool that I am to feed a stray--
He smiles at me; my heart pitter-pats.
It answers to the King of the Cats.
It answers to the King of the Cats.
