"Kitty" is a song by the American alternative rock band The Presidents of the United States of America. It originally appeared on the demo tape Froggystyle. This version was entitled "Kitty at My Foot". According to Dave Dederer, the song was based "as far as I know" on a true story about "a bad little cat that lived in some [apartment] Chris shared with some folks in Boston".[3]
Description[edit]
The song describes a man's desire to pet a cat that has been out all night, implied to be a feral cat. After a moment of bliss, the cat turns on him and scratches him and he decides to let it spend the night outside again.
