Story Behind The Song
This song is part of my labor of love. The Cat show I am writing, includes this marvelous want to be a Cat, Broadway style duet! Are there benefits to be a Cat over a human being? Come find out and listen, to why the singers think so!
Song Description
Why wouldn't we sometimes feel that we want to be a Cat! After all, Cats don't work, can sleep all they want, and chase mice in the fields to their heart's content! The singer in the song expresses this in a Broadway style duet way!
