Scat the Cat was a special black feline who could change his colors with a magical rhyme. "I'm Scat the Cat, sassy and fat, and I can change my colors—just like that!" he chanted, turning himself bright blue. Excited about his new look, Scat raced to the pond to see his reflection. Unfortunately, his paws slipped on the muddy bank, and he tumbled into the water with a loud splash! Timmy Turtle quickly swam over and helped the soaking wet cat back to shore. "Maybe blue isn't my color after all," Scat sighed, shaking water from his fur.

Scat Turns Blue

The next day, Scat decided to try a different color. "I'm Scat the Cat, sassy and fat, and I can change my colors—just like that!" he chanted, turning himself bright red. Proudly, he strolled through the neighborhood where three children were playing. "Look at that silly red cat!" laughed a girl, pointing at Scat. Another girl joined in the laughter, making Scat's ears droop with embarrassment. "Red definitely isn't right for me," Scat muttered as he hurried away from the giggling children.

Scat Turns Red

Undeterred, Scat tried again the following morning. "I'm Scat the Cat, sassy and fat, and I can change my colors—just like that!" he chanted, turning himself sunshine yellow. Feeling cheerful, Scat wandered into the jungle where he met his cousin, Leo the Lion. "Yellow is MY color!" Leo roared, his magnificent mane shaking. "It makes me look fierce and powerful!" Scat looked at his reflection in a puddle and had to agree. "Yellow suits you better than me, cousin Leo," Scat admitted, backing away respectfully.

Scat Turns Yellow

For his final attempt, Scat turned himself green and went to play with his siblings in the grassy field. "Where did Scat go?" asked his Siamese brother with black and white stripes. "I can't see him anywhere!" said his Persian sister with yellow fur. Scat realized being invisible wasn't fun at all—he missed being seen by his family. "I'm Scat the Cat, sassy and fat, and I can change my colors—just like that!" he chanted one last time, returning to his original black coat. "Being myself is the best color of all," Scat purred happily as his siblings gathered around him with loving nudges.

"I’m Scat the Cat, sassy and fat,
And I can change my colors—just like that!"

Scat turns blue
Scat turned blue and went to the pond,
But he slipped and fell in with a splash beyond.
Timmy Turtle helped him ashore,
And Scat decided, "Blue’s not for me anymore!"

Scat turns red
Next, Scat said his magic rhyme,
And turned red in no time.
But people laughed as he walked the street,
"Red cats are silly!" they said on repeat.

Scat turns yellow
Yellow was next; Scat thought it was fine,
Until he met Leo, his lion cousin divine.
Leo roared loudly, "Yellow’s for me!"
So Scat changed again—what color would he be?

Scat turns green
Green like the grass, Scat tried to play,
But his siblings couldn’t see him that day.
Invisible in the field, he sighed with glee,
"Green’s not the best color for me."

Scat turns back to black
Finally, Scat said his rhyme once more,
And turned back to black like before.
He smiled and said, "Being myself is best!
I’m unique and special—better than the rest!"
