The little sick cat

From 5 players

Form a circle and name whom the cat will be. The cat has to stand in the centre of the circle.
You will turn while singing: “alone by the fireside, the cat moans, the cat moans, alone by the fireside, the cat moans and says it’s raining”.
At the end of the song, the cat chooses someone and goes to him while moaning.
If it is you, you must say to him while petting his head: “poor little sick cat!”
Beware, because the cat’s aim is to make you laugh with his tomcat funny faces and grimaces; if he succeeds in making you laugh, you will have to take his place. Otherwise, he will have to try with someone else.
