Cat

CAT’S ON THE PROWL

Cat’s on the prowl This cat’s on the prowl Dark of the night Away from the light
Cat’s on the prowl This cat’s gonna yowl Callin’ a mate
Who’s stayin’ out late
If you are there ‘tween he
And his missus Better beware Turn and flee When he hisses
Cat’s on the prowl Watch out for his growl Cat’s only law
Is the law of the claw
Then - when it’s day
Cat’s gonna lie round at leisure Cat’s gonna play
He’ll kill a mouse just for pleasure You stroke his fur
He’ll be your friend,
Not your foe
Cat’s gonna purr
‘Til night, that’s when




It’s his time to go
— Prowling

Overall Meaning

These lyrics, from Mario's song "Cat in 2-3," are a playful depiction of a cat's behavior and instincts. The song portrays the cat as a mysterious creature that comes alive at night, away from the light, and goes on the prowl. The cat is searching for a mate, calling out to them, and warning others to stay away from the territory between him and his missus. The lyrics capture the cat's intense nature, with mentions of his growl and the law of the claw, highlighting his primal instincts and the rules he lives by.


During the day, the cat becomes more relaxed, lying around at leisure and playing. He finds pleasure in hunting mice and will still be friendly towards humans if they stroke his fur. However, as night falls, the cat's true nature emerges once again, and he resumes prowling.


Overall, these lyrics paint a vivid picture of a cat's dualistic nature. They emphasize the cat's independent and wild behavior while also showcasing its ability to be friendly and purr when in a peaceful setting.

This was beautifully made, the music, the shots, angles, (the acting both cats and humans), all of it is just so well done.
