I always believed the cat's owner to be going through a bad breakup. A good friend of mine broke up with his fiancee and was distraught. He was depressed and lost all motivation, just like how the cat in the song describes. It was his dog and this song that pulled him through. This song always reminded me of him. I have so much respect for the Weakerthans-- Like The Smell of Ran said, who else can write a song from a cat's perspective and have it be so meaningful and moving!
