This should be Meowed or sung to the tune of Mungo Jerry's classic "In The Summertime".......
"purr purr-purr uh, purr purr-purr, uh
purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh..."
"In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right out and be on your favorite cot,
When the weather's fine
You got playing, you got romping on your mind
Have some nip, have a climb
Go out and see what you can find"
"If her Daddy's rich, take her out for some filet,
If her Daddy's poor, just stay in and play,
Speed around the house,
really speed, really speeeed big time my friend,
When the sun goes down, you can make it
make it home before day's end"
"We're no threat, we kitties, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishing or go climbing up some trees
We're always happy
Life's for living, yeah that's our "felineosophy"
"Sing along with us, mew-mew-mew-mew-mew
purr-purr-purr-purr-purr yeah, we're hap-happy.......
mew-mew-mew-mew-mew...."
"Purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh
Purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh...."
"When the winter's here, yeah it's sleepy time
Bring a toy mouse
Wear your finest fur, it'll soon be summertime
And we'll sing again
We'll go jumpin' or maybe we'll settle down
If she's got "noms" or if she's got mice
Bring your kitty friends and we'll all go into town...."
Happy First Day Of Summer All!!
Make This A Great Summer For You And Your Favorite Felines!!

DeleteHi Cody and Caren,
ReplyDeleteOkay, long story, but I had to go through Facebook to get to your site. So hopefully, that PM I sent you is no longer relevant.
Anyway, welcome to the first day of summer, the um "longest" day in the Northern Hemisphere. Yes, weird, still only 24 hours. And of course, our friends in the Southern Hemisphere are having the first day of winter. The "shortest" day of their year. Yes, weird, still only 24 hours.
Penny's human,
Gary :)
thanks for contacting me on Facebook to let me know about the difficulties you were having and thanks for your patience!!!
DeleteYes longest and shortest being 24 hours? Go figure! :)
Now you've done it! Mom Paula is singing again.
ReplyDeleteHeheh! Well, Mom Paula has a beautiful voice so I am sure that you do not mind!
DeleteEarworm!
ReplyDeleteEarworm!
Earworm!
Happy Summer, Cody & Caren! I think we're finally sending you some good weather : )

I have had beautiful weather here in Washington as well. You might want to be careful, as the photo of those cats in bikinis may be close to violating Google decency standards! :) Meow to Cody!
