Plop into the CatsForGold envelope, and plop into the big blue box! I wonder what Cat-tankerous (his name) will look like. The bottom bar has already been set…

He looks cantankerous...

It should capture the spirit of the story in a melody… one that you can carry with you in a hum.

As a child, all my favorites had excellent theme songs (you can hum them without a hint):
