I wrote this as a poem and thought it might work well enough as a spoken word piece. Those who are fond of 𝘍𝘦𝘭π˜ͺ𝘴 𝘀𝘒𝘡𝘢𝘴 may find it resonates with them.

I've lost count of the number of cats my auntie has. Every time I go to her house there appears to be a new one. I swear they breed like... well, like cats, I suppose.

Lyrics

I like cats I think they're really soft There's a cat in the house And a cat in the loft

There's a cat in the garden A cat on the stairs There's a cat over here And a cat over there

There's a cat in the cupboard A cat in my bed There's a cat on my back A cat on my head

There's a cat in the pocket Of my favourite pyjamas These creatures are everywhere That's cats, not llamas*

(* yes, sorry about that.)

There's a cat in Costa Where I get my bad coffee When I'm in the kitchen There's a cat in the toffee

There's a cat in my bag (Though I'm not quite sure how) I think there's a cat Under your chair right now

There's a cat in the pennies A cat in the pounds There's a cat in the corner Every time I turn 'round

And I'm ever so happy That I'm not a mouse There are so many cats here In my auntie's house

This is adorable! I enjoy the words and the performance. I think I hear someone meowing in the distance about midway through, too!
