Every morning, when Maria goes outside to feed the animals, she stops and picks up Minnie and holds her close, and sings the “Minnie Song:”
“Oh, Minnie is a pussy,
she is a pussy cat,
and every where that Minnie goes,
there is a big dead rat…”
— Lyrics by Maria Wulf
Then she puts Minnie down and feeds her some special food for elderly cats. Minnie closes her eyes and purrs.
I love it. Thanks to songwriter Maria Wulf and to Jon Katz for sharing this!
