    "comment": "Of the inspiration for the song, frontman Chris Ballew reveals, \"That was a real cat. I was living with my old friend Mark Sandman from the band Morphine, who's the guy that turned me on to the two-string. We were having a little jam in his living room and his roommate's cat Shima came in. Shima was famous for going up to your leg and rubbing on it, and then when you reach down you get a handful of claw. So Shima was there, we were jamming, and I go into this riff. I just started singing, 'Kitty at my foot and I want to touch it.' For a long time that's all it was, it was a fragment that just did that over and over again. I recorded it on my 4-track with a banjo, made it a weird, distorted country thing, and as I'm putting songs together for the debut for The Presidents to play live shows and stuff, I heard that fragment and thought I'd develop that a little bit. So it came out of me wanting to touch an actual cat.\" https://tinyurl.com/3ytcvfu6",
