Cats are natural hunters and it’s difficult to train this trait out of them. If you’ve ever seen a cat in full hunting mode, you’ll know how accomplished they are. You can try to stop a cat from hunting by distracting it with a toy or a treat, but you should never punish or admonish it for doing so.
We bring you a sneak peek at the Maine Coon Cat’s new version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and I know it will touch a nerve with many a cat owner.
Note: best sung with the karaoke version of Bohemian Rhapsody playing in the background – search for this on YouTube.
Alternatively, sing over the original version.

Hunting Cat Rhapsody by the Maine Coon Quartet
Is that a real bird?
Is that a bumblebee?
Caught by my fat paw
No escape from this fast kitty
~
Spot where it lies
Look into my eyes and see
I’m just a hunter, I have no sympathy
Prey is easy come, don’t let go
Toss it high, bat it low
~
Any way the mouse goes
I’ll hear its feet patter near me
You’ll see
~
Meowwww!
Just killed a mouse,
Closed my teeth around its head
Chomped my jaws tight
Now it’s dead
~
Meowww, it tried hard to run
But now I’ve gone and chewed its head away
~
Mommy, oooh ooh ooh ooh
Why do dead mice make you cry
I’ll catch you another one tomorrow
Clear it up, clear it up
It doesn’t really matter
~

Hey bird
your turn has come
Sit on the washing line
Fly down here and you’ll be mine
Goodbye little sparrow
You’ve got to go
Gotta leave your nest behind and face my claws
~
Meoow, oow oow oow
You don’t want to die
I’ll make you wish you’d never been hatched at all
~
I see a furry silhouetto of a mouse
Scare a mouse, scare a mouse
I will not let it go now!
Fur will be a flying
everywhere you look now see!
Come to me (come to me)
Come to me (Come to me)
Run to me now don’t you go,
Where’d mousey gooooooooo
~
Don’t be a bad cat my mommy tells me
He’s just a poor mouse with a mouse family
Spare him his life and I’ll give you your tea

~
If mice run
Let them go
Will you let mouse go?
Meow wow! No,
I will not let mouse go
(Let mouse go!)
Meow wow! I will not let mouse go
(Let mouse go!)
Meow wow! I will not let mouse go
(Let mouse go)
Will not let mouse go
(Let mouse go)
Will not let mouse go
Let mouse go
No no no no no no no
~
Oh kitty please, kitty please, kitty please, let mouse go
Your dad and I have a fishy put aside for you
For you
For yooooooo

~
So you think you can stop me and mouse will survive?
So you think you can bribe me and mousey won’t die
Ooh, mommy
Don’t try stopping me mommy
Just gotta kill mice
Just gotta get kill mice that run here
~
Hunting really matters
Any cat can see
Hunting really matters
Hunting really matters to me
~
Any way the prey goes
