In the blood of our house cats runs that of their relatives; the great Wild Cats. This song takes a look into that side of our loveable pets. :)

Song: "...And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps," by Jethro Tull.

Lyrics:

' Muscled, black with steel-green eye
swishing through the rye grass
with thoughts of mouse-and-apple pie.
Tail balancing at half-mast.
...And the mouse police never sleeps ---
lying in the cherry tree.
Savage bed foot-warmer of purest feline ancestry.
Look out, little furry folk!
He's the all-night working cat.
Eats but one in every ten ---
leaves the others on the mat.
...And the mouse police never sleeps ---
waiting by the cellar door.
Window-box town crier;
birth and death registrar.
With claws that rake a furrow red ---
licensed to multilate.
From warm milk on a lazy day
to dawn patrol on hungry hate.
...No, the mouse police never sleeps ---
climbing on the ivy.
Windy roof-top weathercock.
Warm-blooded night on a cold tile...'

  • Aww I thought we were gonna atleast see a chase, ya know cat and mouse!! That would be a cool vid. Nice slide show though.

  • uh....thanks?

    I'm considering trying to do actual video at a later date, but taking stills of the cats to match this song was hard enough! Hopefully I'll get the chance to try it in the future, though.

  • Love this! Nerver get tired of the cats or Tull. srcox

  • Yeah, I'll watch it sometimes just remembering taking those pictures. :)

    Such a fun project!!

  • Nicely done! I would've added some shots of mice at the appropriate times, but very well done with the colorization highlights and zooms. Thanks for a great video!

  • Well done! Next best thing to a good recording of a live performance. One of my favorite Tull tunes.
