Catsick Lyrics

I didn't expect to be gone so long

So in my absence you have got to be strong

I wish I could tell you that it's all ok

I wish I could tell you that it's all alright

But you wouldn't understand

Oh no

Coz you're a cat

You'll never know why I had to go away

You have no concept of a hospital stay

Much as I'd love to come straight home and play

I have to do as the doctors say

I'm missing home

But I feel less alone

When I get pictures of you on my phone

Now I'm not worried about your welfare

I know that you are being brilliantly cared for

But it kills me that I'm not there

I wonder how you'd act if you saw me in a wheelchair

When I return I may be sluggish

So forgive me if I'm rubbish

When I'm stuck on the sofa all day long

But things will improve

As I learn how to move

Before you know it we'll be back in our normal groove

You'll nestle on my chest

Purr loudly at my stroke

And when you've had enough

You'll punch me in the throat

Use my broken leg as a launch pad

But I won't get mad

No I can't be mad

Coz I'm home

You might be wary of my crutch

Shy away from touch

But I bet you won't mind

When it's feeding time

At which point I'm screwed

Because you won't move

And your bowl is sat

Directly between me and the loo

You'll wake me up each dawn

Like I was never gone

With surprisingly aggressive headbutts

Then you'll scream at me all evening

For no apparent reason

Have I committed some treason?

I guess you want attention

Or maybe a treat

I don't always know what you mean

I can't wait to be back

I'll take the good with the bad

To be the best cat dad

That I can
