04/01/22 Kingston has been a part of my household for a long time, so it isn't too surprising that there's a song about him. It all came about when he got a case of the fleas. After months of combing him a couple times a day with the proverbial fine tooth comb it got to the point he was expecting it. He'd jump up on the hamper when I told him to "get on the box!" and he always looked so proud up there that he seemed like one of those fancy cats in a cat show. I've been singing the showcat song to him for years now as we go through the routine. (oh, the fleas are gone, of course, he just likes being combed) Vic started singing along after witnessing the event every time she was over, so it was decided that we should share it with the world! That's Victoria Mowrer on percussions and backing vocals- Thanks, Vic! Show Cat.mp3 Show Cat Showcat, sleek and sassy- Showcat, lookin’ classy He’s got a long tail. He’s got a long tail.
