John Lennon, the iconic Beatle who declared, "I Am the Walrus", held
a less-known affection for a different whiskered animal - the cat.

 
It's odd he didn't express his love of cats in his music, the only
cat connections I can think of off the top of my head are "Three Cool
Cats" back in the Hamburg days and his contribution to Harry
Nilsson's "Pussy Cats" album.

 
Don't forget "Leave My Kitten Alone."

 
A track that should have made it on to the "Beatles For sale"
LP...

 
Yeah anything would've been better than "Mr. Moonlight," lol.

"Mr. Moonlight" is definitely strange. I bet that without that
unfathomable 'honking' organ solo, most people would have considered the
song a nice-enough trip back in time to the Beatles' Star Club catalog.

I spent some time searching for reviews of "Beatles for Sale," and found a
few articles, all written post Y2K, most of which conveniently omit Mr.
Moonlight from any mention. However, a critic from the BBC absolutely
loved the song.
