Pussy Cat Pussy Cat (Nursery Rhyme)

Summary


"Pussy Cat Pussy Cat" is a beloved nursery rhyme in which a cat is asked where it has been — and reveals it travelled all the way to London to see the Queen. Yet despite such a grand adventure, the cat's attention lands not on royalty but on a little mouse hiding under the chair. The rhyme's gentle humor captures how even the biggest occasions look different through a cat's eyes.
