Toby -- Attack Cat

For some reason, Toby was spooked when Denny peeked around a door. Denny, of course, could not resist playing into this.

At one point in the video, Denny acted like he was attacking my leg. Toby lunged at him pretty fiercely. He's always been rather protective of me, but we'd never seen him quite like this.

Toby was not harmed at all in the making of this video. However, Denny experienced an accelerated heartbeat.

The song is from the musical, Cats.

Growltiger was a bravo cat who traveled on a barge
In fact he was the roughest cat that ever roamed at large
From Gravesend up to Oxford he pursued his evil aims
Rejoicing in his title of

GROWLTIGER:
The "Terror of the Thames"! Ha ha ha ha!

GRUMBUSKIN:
His manners and appearance did not calculate to please
His coat was torn and seedy, it was baggy at the knees
One ear was somewhat missing, no need to tell you why
And he scowled upon a hostile world from one forbidding eye

CHORUS:
The cottagers of Rotherhithe knew something of his fame
At Hammersmith and Putney, people shuddered at his name
They would fortify the hen house, lock up the silly goose
When the rumor ran along the shore:

GROWLTIGER:
Growltiger's on the loose! Ha ha ha ha!

SOLOS:
Woe to the weak canary that fluttered from its cage
Woe to the pampered Pekingese, that faced Growltiger's rage
Woe the bristly bandicoot that lurks on foreign ships
And woe to any cat with whom Growltiger came to grips

But most to cats of foreign race his hatred had been vowed
To cats of foreign name and race, no quarter was allowed
The Persian and the Siamese regarded him with fear
Because it was a Siamese had mauled his missing ear

Andrew Lloyd Webber
T.S. Eliot
