Singing to George

So, I've been known to sing to my cats.. Its not an everyday occurrence but sometimes it calms them down, and sometimes its just for me more or less. Usually I'll sing a lullaby, an nonsense song, or something of the sort. But this time I made up lyrics to go with the song "What Does He Want of Me?" from Man of La Mancha.

They're pretty good I think:

Why do you do the things you do?
Why do you do these things?
Why do you meow and paw at me?
Keep going on when you know I don't see.
Why do you do all the things that you do?
And what do you want of me?
What do you want of me?

I'm half tempted to listen to the whole song and write lyrics for the whole thing...

Honestly, I like it. I'd be interested in reading complete lyrics . . . : ) Also glad to see someone else sings to their cat(s)! My family thinks I'm crazy.
