16
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,080
Tabby McTat was a busker's cat

17
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,360
with a miaow that was loud and strong.

18
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,720
# Miaow. #

19
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,000
The two of them sang of this and that,

20
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,920
and people threw coins in the old checked hat,

21
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:23,280
and this was their favourite song.

22
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,800
# Me, you and the old guitar Miaow, miaow, miaow, miaow

00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,440
One morning, while Fred ate some bacon and bread,

35
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,880
McTat took a stroll round the block.

36
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,280
Then stopped - for there on a doormat sat

37
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,480
a gorgeously glossy and green-eyed cat.

38
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720
She was black, with one snowy white sock.

00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,360
Sock and McTat had a cat to cat chat.

42
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,400
And that's how their story began.

43
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,040
For while they were chatting of this and of that,

44
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,800
a thief had his eye on the old checked hat.

45
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680
He eyed it.

46
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920
He snatched it.

47
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,400
He ran!

00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,360

50
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,440
I saw the whole chase.

51
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,960
He tripped on a lace, and crash! In a flash, he was down.

52
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,360
He's broken his leg and he's banged his head.

53
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,000
And he ended up in a hospital bed

54
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,680
in a far away part of town.

The stars came out.

67
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,160
But he didn't come back.

68
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,720
McTat lingered on and on.

69
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,280

A week later, Sock took a stroll round the block.

72
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,000
Miaow? Hmm?

73
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,520
And found her new friend looking thin.

74
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,680
"He's gone off and left me."

75
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Said Tabby McTat.

76
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Then Sock said...

77
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,840
"My people, Prunella and Pat,

78
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,280
"would gladly find room for a fine tabby cat."

00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,880
SOCK YAWNS

80
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,040

81
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,160
Oh!

82
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,760
Poor darling.

83
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,160
We must take him in!

84
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:29,920
Next morning, old Fred left his hospital bed

85
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,200
and found his way back to the square.

86
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,040
But a brass band stood where the pair once sat.

87
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,400
And the band played this...

88
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,440
BAND PLAY A LIVELY TUNE

89
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,960
..and the band played that...

90
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,360
..and Fred looked all round for his loud-miaowed cat.

91
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,840
But Tabby McTat wasn't there!

with plenty of things to do.

98
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,880
Ooh!

99
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Like washing Prunella and pouncing on Pat.

100
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Oh! Miaow.

101
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,640
And hiding the car keys under the mat!

102
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,120
Miaow!

103
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,000
And keeping the newspapers nice and flat.

104
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,120
And giving the pens an occasional bat.

PAT LAUGHS

106
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:58,960

00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,760
..and nibbling that.

108
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,680
Oh!

109
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,080
But he dreamed of his friend with the old checked hat,

110
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,040
and always woke up with a...

111
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,440
Miaow!

112
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,080
And often he said...

113
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,280
"What's happened to Fred?"

114
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,480
And his paws took him back to the square.

115
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,280
PEOPLE CLAP AND CHEER

116
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,440
But a conjuror stood where the pair once sat.

117
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,520
And he pulled out this,

118
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,000
and he pulled out that.

119
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,680
And people threw coins in the tall black hat,

120
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:02,840
but the busker was never there.

WOMAN LAUGHS

122
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,560
One morning Sock said...

123
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:17,080
"Look under the bed and see the three kittens I've had."

124
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Soames looks like this,

125
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,720
and Susan like that.

126
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,760
And our littlest kitten... Miaow!

00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,440
TABBY AND SOCK LAUGH

128
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,880
..called Samuel Sprat, looks exactly the same as his dad.

129
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,240
Mew!

130
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,400
KITTENS SNORE

131
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,080
The three kittens grew and they learned how to... Mew!

132
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,920
And McTat sometimes sang them his song.

133
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,280
# Miaow, miaow, miaow... #

134
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,880
Samuel Sprat, with his tabby grey fur,

135
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,360
has a deafening miaow and a very loud purr.

136
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,920
And he simply loved singing along.

137
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,520
# Me, you and the old guitar

138
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,760
# How perfectly, perfectly happy we are

139
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,360
# Me...

140
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,320
# You!

141
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,920
# And the old guitar

142
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,320
# How perfectly happy we are. #

143
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,440
THEY ALL PURR

144
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,960
When Susan and Soames found very good homes,

145
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,000
their parents were happy and proud.

146
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,720
There was one home like this,

147
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,120
and another like that.

148
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,720
COCKEREL CROWS

149
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,160
But nobody wanted poor Samuel Sprat.

150
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,840
They all said his voice is too loud.

151
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,120
Miaow!

152
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,400
Now, Tabby McTat was a home-loving cat,

153
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,520
but he couldn't stop dreaming of Fred.

154
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,200
And one day, he called for his wife and his son.

155
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,720
And he told them...

156
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,400
"There's something that has to be done.

157
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,240
"I must go and find him..."

158
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,640
..he said.

159
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,080
So up and down and all over town,

160
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,760
he wandered a whole week long.

161
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,680
For many a morning and afternoon,

162
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,520
by the light of the sun and the light of the moon.

163
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,680
GUITAR PLAYS NEARBY

164
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,880
Till he heard a familiar song.

165
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:02,600
# Just me and the old guitar

166
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:09,000
# If I had a cat I'd be happier far

167
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,680
# Just me...and the old guitar

168
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:19,160
# With my cat I'd be happier far. #

169
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,800
Miaow!

170
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,080
HE GASPS

171
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,440
Miaow!

172
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,600
TABBY PURRS

173
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:32,720
It's Tabby McTat!

174
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,240
HE LAUGHS

175
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,600
It's my long lost cat!

176
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,880
Old Fred was ecstatically glad.

177
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,200
The two of them sang of this and that,

178
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,640
and people threw coins in the new checked hat.

179
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,880
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

180
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,000
Miaow.

181
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Psst!

182
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,680
HE YAWNS

183
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,920
But why did McTat feel sad?

184
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,360
He was missing his wife and his comfortable life

185
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,960
and the dozens of things to do.

186
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,320
Like washing Prunella,

187
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,360
and pouncing on Pat

188
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:55,120
and hiding the car keys under the mat.

189
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,280
Ahem!

190
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,600
And keeping the newspapers nice and flat,

191
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,240
and giving the pens an occasional bat.

192
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,520
But how could he tell the busker that?

193
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,440
Miaow.

194
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,720
Huh?

195
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,400
Oh.

196
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,080
Miaow!

197
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,000
DOORBELL

198
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,120
DOOR OPENS

199
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,920
Miaow.

200
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,440
Aw.

201
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,160
Oh!

202
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,960
HE CHUCKLES

203
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,440
INAUDIBLE SPEECH

204
00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,960
Miaow.

205
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,840
Then out from a shadow sprang Samuel Sprat.

206
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,880
Oh, please let ME be the busker's cat!

207
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,680
He said with his deafening... Mew!

208
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,320
Oh!

209
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,440
SAMUEL SPRAT PURRS

210
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,640
Oh!

211
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,680
HE CHUCKLES

212
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,120
PIGEONS COO

213
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,840
Miaow!

214
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,040
Now Samuel Sprat is the busker's cat,

215
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,760
with a miaow that is loud and strong.

216
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,560
# Miaow, miaow, miaow... #

217
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,560
The two of them sing of this and that...

218
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,400
Though Samuel sings just a little bit flat.

219
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,960
And people throw coins in the old checked hat.

220
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,200
And this is their favourite song.

221
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,000
# Me, you and the old guitar Miaow, miaow, miaow, miaow

222
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,400
# How perfectly, perfectly happy we are

223
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:30,240
# Me, you and the old guitar Miaow, miaow, miaow, miaow

224
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,840
# How perfectly happy we are Miaow, miaow, miaow

225
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,920
# Me, you and the old guitar Miaow, miaow, miaow, miaow

226
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,560
# How perfectly, perfectly happy we are

227
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:53,800
# Me, you and the old guitar Miaow, miaow, miaow

228
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,200
# How perfectly happy we are Miaow, miaow, miaow. #

229
