Spencer

In honor of Spencer, one cool cat. A good friend who liked to nip my coffee, my scotch, and always, my heart. Don't rest in peace, instead have a good go at whatever you do, like you did when you were here. Cheers ol' friend!

Below is one of my favorite animated shorts, "The Cat Came Back." The song is a children's folk song originally written by Harry S. Miller under the title of "The Cat Came Back: A Comic Negro Absurdity" in 1893. The song is humorous in nature, telling a silly tale about a man who had a cat that he did not want, and when he tried to get rid of the cat, the cat kept coming back. The song is the basis for this famous 1988 short by Cordell Barker.

FYI, I've come to believe, at least in my searching, that there are far more songs about dogs than there are about cats.
