He's got a cat book

The story:

Whenever I heard this song on the radio I was
totally mystified as to why anyone would write such
a dramatic-sounding song about some guy who had a
book about cats, but the radio station I listened
to then rarely announced the names of songs so the
mystery continued.... until my husband and I
eventually bought the album and played it when we
had some friends over that night, then I read the
track listing and we all got a pretty good laugh
out of my mistake!
