I have our cat, called Claws, I wish that he were yours. He’s sitting on my knee, I just can’t prise him free. When you were here, my dear, this cat would not come near. But then you flew the nest and left me with this pest. There’s water in my eyes, the blood runs down my thighs. I have our cat, called Claws, I wish that he were yours!
