This song clearly has to do with life after the initial stimulation of growing up and learning. After one 'settles down' the routine kind of kicks in, and most don't do anything to stop themselves from living the same day over and over.
I think the 'cat invasion' kind of describes his utter boredom as he's reduced to describing an ordinary cat fight as some kind of international war. The line 'just to prove to one or both of them a cat is just a cat' is important too - he feels superior to the two animals yet their lives have more purpose and direction than his own, which is a life of constant repitition and no conflict.
