The Cat’s Prayer
The Cat’s Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back,
For windowsills all warm and bright,
For shadows to explore at night.
I pray I’ll always stay real cool
And keep the secret feline rule
To never tell a human that
The world is really ruled by cats!

The Cat Came Back – From the new Ryan Seacat album
The Cat Came Back
The Cat Came Back has been newly recorded by Ryan Seacat and The Muddy Bottom Tom Cat Stompers. Ryan discovered The Stompers on a recent trip to Louisiana where he was tracing his family’s roots. Said Ryan, “I always felt an affinity for southern food and my favorite movie was Deliverance, so it comes as no surprise to discover I have roots in the south.”
The Muddy Bottom Tom Cat Stompers have long been a staple of the music scene in Louisiana. When asked to define their music they said it was difficult to CATegorize! But their influences include Bluegrass, Catgrass, Catnip and Country!
Check out The Cat Came Back here:
The Muddy Bottom Tom Cat Stompers are – Ginger Tom Baker – Drums, Paul McCatney – Bass, Plucky Paws – Banjo, Charlize Daniels – Fiddle and Ryan Seacat vocals.
The Cat Came Back is the first of 12 songs to be recorded for the new album. Asked if he was planning on touring to support the new album Ryan Seacat said, “I would love to tour with this group. We would like to play small clubs across the country but my manager wants to book larger venues, possibly as an opening act for Katy Perry or Beyonce! I know Katy is a cat lover and I’m sure Beyonce would love me.”
Spokesmen for Katy Perry and Beyonce have so far not commented.
Other acts that have been mentioned are the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Miley Cyrus, and Andrea Bocelli . Ryan added, “It’s too early at this point to make a final decision, but I would like to play in Times Square on New Years Eve. And although I haven’t met the Pope, I’m sure he would like us to play the half time show during his Christmas Message at The Vatican. Imagine the ratings we could bring him for that show!”
A spokesman for the Pope was unavailable for comment!
The Book of Genesis According to Cats
Genesis According to the Cat
A new reading of the Dead Sea Scrolls has found a new version of the Book of Genesis
And Adam said, “Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me.”
And God said, “No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself.”
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, “But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are taken and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”
And God said, “No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.”
And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And DOG was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam’s guardian angel came to the Lord and said, “Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. DOG has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility.”
And the Lord said, “No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not worthy of adoration.”
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And CAT would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into CAT’s eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being.
And Adam learned humility.
And God was pleased.
And Adam was greatly improved…
And CAT didn’t care one way or the other!
