Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song firsthand while observing our cat Marvin's peculiar ritual one morning as he was waking up from an extended nap.
Song Description
Meet Marvin the cat being his cool, unassuming self, yet wanting to be pampered and doted on like all cats. He's just waking up and he needs a treat bad. So the 'Kitty Kat Kat' song is born to tell the story.

Lyrics
I was sittin' at home one morning and da kitty kat sittin' up dere.
On a ledge up high in da livin' room covered with the kitty kat hair.
Not sayin' a word but tinkin' what a kitty kat tinkin' about.
Den he stretched dem legs on out, and opened up da kitty kat mout.
He da rag doll cat.
What cha know, what cha know 'bout dat?
Yea ya'll know he a kitty kat kat
I'd falled asleep on da couch, and woke up under kitty kat feet.
He was standin' on top o my haid and he was lookin' for a kitty kat treat.
So I mozied on over to da cupboard and I pulled out a shiny red bag
It were filled up with kitty kat food to da brim but now I see dat da kitty be lookin' real, mad.
Next ting I know dat kitty done rolled him's head to da side.
Starin' down, at da ground, fluffy tail reachin' up to da sky.
Den I look in da bag, what a drag, right away right away I can see.
What I had was shum-a-dum-dum but da cat wanted shee-ba-dee-dee!
So I go's to da store and when I open's dee door I can see it right dere.
It's a bag of shee-ba-dee-dee sittin' over by the honeycomb bear.
When I get back home wit da bag, what a drag, right away I can see.
Rag doll kitty kat know nutin' but da kitty kat know's about me!
He da rag doll kat.
Da kitty be dis and da kitty be dat.
Big feet on da door goin' rat a tat tat.
Hairy little boy, he a rag doll cat.
Oh yea! He da rag doll kat.
What cha know what cha know what cha know 'bout dat?
Yea ya'll know he a kitty kat kat.
