Kitty Come (Morning Call)- guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
This is a tribute to my cat "Ambush". A tabby tomcat with colors like a fox. He usually arrives at six o'clock every morning, to make me up and go and get his breakfast. Then he hangs around throughout the day, leaving at sunset. Last winter he disappeared all of a sudden. The days passed by, and I thought I'd lost him. Every morning I went down for the morning call; the neighbours probably considered me crazy. After ten days he was back, jolly as ever, but walking with a limb. His left backleg had an ugly scar. He'd probably been stuck in a carport or something, or gotten so injured he couldn't walk. I felt like winning the lottery. That creature means more to me than any money.

[Epitaph, November 2024] This was written many years ago. If Ambush is still alive he's about 20 years old. Well, not impossible. I rented the 1st floor in the suburbs, the house was sold and I had to move to the center of town. No place for a cat like him, so I contacted the new owner and made a deal: I'd come every day to feed him while the house was rebuilt, then see what happens ... after 2 months I got the message «He's inside, allright».
I lived alone for 8 years, then ended up in rural areas, at last. A stray cat came to my door one
morning in 2015, barely 1 year old. I later found out WHERE she came from, and found it was a thoroughbred norwegian forest cat. Noblicity! So now my Kitty is "Lady Shady aus die Giethuuser Waldkatzen", and I am Baron Khawaga von Giethuus.
I'm crazy about cats. Maybe just crazy.
