"The Cat in the Window (The Bird in the Sky)" is a song with words and music by Gary Bonner and Alan Gordon. Recorded by Petula Clark, with an arrangement heavy with strings and flutes, it is difficult to categorize in a specific musical genre, and it marked a major departure from the style of music associated with her long collaboration with songwriters Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent.

  • "The Cat in the Window (The Bird in the Sky)" is a song with words and music by Gary Bonner and Alan Gordon. Recorded by Petula Clark, with an arrangement heavy with strings and flutes, it is difficult to categorize in a specific musical genre, and it marked a major departure from the style of music associated with her long collaboration with songwriters Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. In it, the narrator compares herself to a cat ("with a tear in his eye") eager to escape his captivity and "fly out the window, go where the wind goes" like the birds he observes flying by. Resolving to "glide to a rainbow off where the clouds go dancing by," she ends with the plaintive comment, "You won't find me . . . don't even try to. " The song, which peaked at #11 in Canada and #26 in the United States, also was recorded by The Turtles.
