about

What is a fanlisting? According to TFL.org, 'A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not official) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting the fans.'

Cats is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and other poems by T. S. Eliot. Although it has never been critically acclaimed, Cats is one of the most popular musicals of all time having been performed around the world in numerous productions (the show has been translated into over 20 languages).

the ad-dressing of cats

The Ad-Dressing of Cats is the final song of the musical. The majority of the song is sung by Old Deuteronomy, the rest by the entire cast in unison.

lyrics

You've heard of several kinds of cat
And my opinion now is that
You should need no interpreter
To understand our character
You've learned enough to take the view
That cats are very much like you
You've seen us both at work and games
And learnt about our proper names
Our habits and habitat
But how would you ad-dress a cat?

So first, your memory I'll jog
And say: a cat is not a dog
So first, your memory I'll jog
And say: a cat is not a dog

Now dogs pretend they like to fight
They often bark, more seldom bite
But yet a dog is, on the whole
What you would call a simple soul
The usual dog about the town
Is much inclined to play the clown
And far from showing too much pride
Is frequently undignified
He's such an easy-going lout
He'll answer any hail or shout

The usual dog about the town
Is inclined to play the clown
Again I must remind you that
A dog's a dog; a cat's a cat

With cats, some say one rule is true
Don't speak 'til you are spoken to
Myself, I do not hold with that
I say you should ad-dress a cat
But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity
You bow, and taking off your hat
Ad-dress him in this form: "Oh, Cat!"

Before a cat will condescend
To treat you as a trusted friend
A little token of esteem is needed like a dish of cream
And you might now and then supply
Some caviar or Straussburg pie
Some potted grouse or salmon paste
He's sure to have his personal taste
And so in time you reach your aim
And call him by his name

A cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect
So this is this and that is that
And there's how you ad-dress a cat

A cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect
So this is this and that is that
And there's how you ad-dress a cat

oh, cat!
