One night at cat-feeding time, Chris was headed to the kitchen to do just that; she observed as she walked, that Taz and Mickie were sitting nearby waiting for her to get moving, but that Suzie Q was already “beating feet” toward the kitchen.

Out in the kitchen on the linoleum floor
There’s a set of dishes we all know what they’re for
They rattle out loud as the kibble comes pourin’ down!
Here comes Suzie, Mickie, and big ol’ Taz
That’s what our household has
Is three feet-beatin’ kitties.

Aw, heel and toe, dosey-do, come on kitties let’s go
Beatin’ feet
To the kitchen, ‘round the dishes, it’s all so delicious
We’ll have some kibble
Yeah, felines, see the signs, it’s suppertime
Feet-beatin’ kitties!
