Pussycat Pussycat Nursery Rhyme

"Pussycat, Pussycat" is a popular nursery rhyme written and composed by Alfonsina Wood in 1865. The song tells the story of a pussycat brought to a veterinarian's office to be spayed, but the surgeon errors and cuts off part of the cat's horns. Meanwhile, the pussycat sneaks out of the hospital and visits its old friends, including a queen caterpillar and a gang of mice, to eulogize its horns. The song is often performed by children's choirs, or accompanied by various musical instruments such as violin, piano, and drums.
