I'd love to ride on railroads every day
And sit up by the window,—would n't you?
To watch the world all rush the other way
And make believe where it is running to.
But once—it was n't far—
I took kitty on a car,
And I guess there 's lots of other things a cat 'd rather do.

A kitty does n't care about the view,
And she 's frightened by the jiggle of the floor;
It makes you feel ashamed to have her mew,
But she's stronger'n she ever was before!
Though traveling is fun,
With almost any one,
I never want to travel with a kitty any more.
