Sunset Boulevard Bow Tied Mo Fo Fat Cat

Kyle Hemmings

I am the decked out high-five cat with Gucci
sunglasses. I ride in back of limousines, open top,
diamonds glittering around my California Spangled neck.
All the girls know me from Disney, my aunt was half-ocelot,
an extra in Tarzan remakes and she was a friend of
a friend of a friend of a friend of Thomasina, a cat
who just wouldn’t be put down. All the girls love me
from Maine to Java, what they wouldn’t do to give me
a bowl of sardines, a throw rug stamped with my
motto J.T. Cat Needs Some Love. And you’re the big
girl who never grew up, who never got over her first
cat who grew too fast and too fat. I can tell by your
green eyes, and fragile stance, always alone at night,
that you’re not a dog lover. Give me all your
girly love. What you wouldn’t do for a hair,
a clip of my nail. We’ll make pictures with
happy endings, you and I. I’ll direct and do
the casting. ‘Cuz life is too short and when you’re
a cat, it’s even shorter. Imagine a three hour
film, the story of our lives, how I saved you
from small fires, how you’d never give me away,
could it ever capture the love?
