Highway to Meow

Hello everyone! After a week of darkness, I have returned with a brand new post, IN COLOR. Cats are up to their shenanigans once more, in this new installment of 3-panel strips. These are actually dedicated to my brother, whose love for a certain band inspired the third strip.

Can cats play guitar? Experience has taught me the answer is yes.

With the help of my brother, I was recently able to get my hands back on the electric guitar I had when I was 14 (it was stashed at my parents' house in the suburbs, and he valiantly drove it and my oversized amp into Manhattan). However, for the past few days I've come home to hear a distinct electric hum fading out just as I open the door. When I pick up my guitar, it is tuned a few steps higher than usual, and I've even noticed some strange callouses on the tips of my cats' little forepaws. I also found the following lyrics crudely scrawled onto a piece of paper stuffed behind their litter box. Could it be they are practicing for their rock debut? Hopefully I can catch them in the act before they post something on YouTube account without my knowledge. Here is the song they wrote:

HIGHWAY TO MEOW

Lyrics by Solomon & Robin Choi

Shedding easy, shedding free

Season changes and I blow my hide

Tail is studding, urging me

To hump furniture in my prime

Don't need bathin', waste of time

Tell you something I would rather do:

Groom around, when I'm so inclined,

My cat-balls and my toe jam too

I'm on a Highway to Meow

Highway to Meow

I'm on a Highway to Meow

Highway to Meow

All nap time, no limits

I get drowsy when I'm on the ground

Bare my fore-claw - you can't clip it

Nobody's gonna trim me down!

Hackin' hairballs in your shoes

Squish around between your toes

Hey Mama! Please feed me!

Wet food 'till my big pooch grows

I'm on a Highway to Meow

Highway to Meow

I'm on a Highway to Meow

Highway (guitar slide)

I'm on a Highway to Meow (Highway to Meow)

I'm on a highway to Meo-ow! (Highway to Meow)

I'm on a highway to Meo-o-ow! (Highway to Meow)

I'm on a highway to Meow (Highway to Meow)

And I'm goin' meow

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way

(guitar: meow-meow meow-meow meow-meow meow-meow meow)

On a Highway to Meow
