A song about cats written by Bill Mumy

On this page: A transcription of a song about Cats, recorded by Barnes and Barnes in November 1981.
Barnes and Barnes are Robert Haimer and Bill Mumy (also known for his roles as Will Robinson in Lost in Space, or Lennier from Babylon5).
The album was called SPAZCHOW.
In April 1997 Bill Mumy wrote about Cats:
Another song conceived and largely written by Robert. I helped with the lyrics. We've always thought that with a few minor changes in the words this could be a cool cat food jingle.
Of course we've also always thought that Googam and Rombu would one day stomp through the city streets proclaiming that they were taking over the planet earth and enslaving mankind.
In this song the constantly frustrated spazchow asks the heavens: "...Who knows if they love you? Are they thinking of you... Do they love you?" He receives no reply.
