Tuxedo Cats

This is the story of my Tuxie.

There is something about a tuxedo cat,
She dosen't chase dogs and she doesn't eat rat.
When she's about,you better watch out.
Because there is something about a tuxedo cat.

She comes in the morning stating her wishes.
Sometimes by gosh, she has already cleaned the dishes.
Still you will hear something in the distance,
A call with steady persistance, step gingerly, it's your breakfast she filches.
Because there is something about a tuxedo cat.

Now, we all know someone who has a cat.
Be it ginger, stripped or one with a hat.
They will always want other cats to compare,
They can't do it, they don't even dare,
Because there is something about a tuxedo cat.
