I’m going to get a cat
I’m going to get a cat and
name it Debbie Friedman
My cat is going to be
Debbie Friedman the Cat

Debbie Friedman is a Jewish Singer
Everybody loves Debbie Friedman

Debbie Friedman has a dog
Not me.
I’m going to have
Debbie Friedman the cat

Debbie Friedman the cat will not be a singer
Debbie Friedman the cat will not be Jewish
Not until after the neutering

Debbie Friedman the Cat will
travel to Israel and hang out in the streets
with all the other Jerusalem cats.
Debbie Friedman the cat will have a
better understanding of her heritage
than the other cats.

She will construct a replica of
The Western Wall in her litter box
with source materials
she will provide herself

Debbie Friedman the cat will
terrorize all the goldfish in the house
All of the goldfish in the house will also
be named Debbie Friedman
There will be Debbie Friedman the Goldfish One
through Debbie Friedman the Goldfish Six.
They will be happy goldfish
Except when Debbie Friedman the cat terrorizes them.

Debbie Friedman the cat will be a fluffy cat

Debbie Friedman the cat will meow in tears and catch mice in joy.
If we have to take her to the vet, we will say a Meow-shebeirach.
When she comes home all better, we’ll sing Not by Meowt.

Debbie Friedman the cat will define cat spirituality

Everyone will love
Debbie Friedman the cat.
