The Cat's Meow

by Julie Stevens

on The City of Cats (2020)

Erika: What's wrong, Wolfie?
Are you sick? Something in your throat?
Wolfie: Meow
Erika: Wait a minute...are you trying to...Meow?
Wolfie: Meow...woof!
Erika: Oh, fella...

Erika: I can see it when you're feeling low
You can't hide that from me
You're no status quo calico
So why keep trying to be?

'Cuz you're more than that
You're a doggish cat
I wish you could see the you I see

Wolfie: Meow

Erika: No...I say
If you bark
Celebrate it
Make your mark
Serenade it
Noah's ark
Shoulda had a cat like you

And if
What you are
I s a strange you
Doesn't mean
You should change you
Only means
You should change your point of view

Hey feline
You fetch just fine
To thine own self be true
Your bow wow's
The cat's meow
It's how I know you're you

You don't need the bows
Or tiara
Bid your woes
Sayonara
Trust your nose
'Cuz it knows the way to go
When you
Chase your tail
You're enchanting
Spirits sail
When you're panting
When you wail
You're a Rover Romeo

There is not
One hair of you
That I would rearrange
I love you the way you are
And that will never change

That will never change

Wolfie: Ruf!
Erika: That's my boy.
