...as in our hometown of Forest Hills, Queens. The cat doing the looking in this case is, of course, our beloved new pal Mickey Six Toes©, who awaits our return from our London vacation tonight, and who could easily pass for the inspiration for The Kinks classic "Phenomenal Cat."
Regular post-vacation musical posting resumes on Thursday, after a certain Shady Dame and I have had a chance to a) unpack and b) bond anew with the Mickster.

The Wikipedia entry for Phenomenal Cat chronicles some of the greatest over-analysis ever perpetrated by critics. Psychedelia? Bosh. Post-Imperial satire? Pshaw. It's a song about a cat, with a melody that almost brings the animal to life in front of your speakers.
I will posit that it's the weirdest song in the Kinks katalogue. Definitely a Lewis Carroll vibe.
