And I would walk

Author’s Note: Inspired by WILTY’s hilarious story of how Rory Reid was once in an ongoing feud with a cat who walked a hundred miles to torment him and The Proclaimer’s excellent “I’m Gonna Be (500 miles).”

Content warning: Animal humour.


When I need food, I’m gonna be the cat who steals the food from you.

When I need sleep, I’m gonna be the cat who steals a bed from you.

If I need a fight, I’m gonna be the cat who fights your cats and you.

And if I shelter, I’m gonna be the cat who’s sheltering with you.

But I would walk one hundred miles

And I will find your house once more

Just to be the cat who walked one hundred miles

To walk in through your door.

When I’m trapped, I’m gonna be the cat who travels far from you.

And when I’m poorly, I’m gonna be the cat who’s worrisome to you.

When there’s freedom, I’m gonna be the cat who travels home to you.

And if I’m snoring, I’m gonna be the cat who’s snoring next to you.

But I would walk one hundred miles

And I will walk in through your door

Just to be the cat who walked one hundred miles

To feud with you once more.

I’m a black cat, and I’m gonna be your very own dark menace

And you will name me, I’m gonna be your very own Mark Dennis.

When I break in, I’ll do what I’ve always done to you.

And when I break in, I’m laughing, and you’ll soon be laughing too.

So I will walk one hundred miles,

And I will feud with you once more.

Just to be the cat who walked one hundred miles

To be the cat that you adore.
