Flat-Headed Cats are listed as, endangered
and are found in, Sumatra, Borneo and on the Malayan Peninsula
They inhabit, lowland forests, swampy areas, lakes and streams
and they exhibit more wetland skills than their cousin, the Fishing Cat
They are one of four cats, that cannot retract their claws
and their threats are, depletion of fish stocks due to human over fishing
rapid loss of habitat, because encroaching humans are developing
oil palm plantations, logging, poisoning and toxic water pollution
Sleep well my darling and your dreams
of us be at Paris spring time
Rue Du Chat Qui Pêche it seems
Will forever now remain prime
In my mind what the street name means
Street of the fishing cat and I’m
Remembering the many schemes
of us at Paris spring time
When you were in your denim jeans
And we made Eiffel Tower climb
We were then only in our teens
Such effort now seems like a crime
Sleep well my darling and your dreams
Remembering the many schemes
Of us be at Paris spring time
