Well, the fiddle is also called a "cat gut", if I recall correctly, so a cat playing the "cat gut" kind of makes sense. 3nodding

Edit: A nursery rhyme site page about "Hey Diddle Diddle" (Full of pop-ups gonk )

Quote:

Hey diddle diddle is a fantasy rhyme designed to delight children with impossible images such "the Cow jumped over the Moon"!

So it's basically to entertain children. 3nodding

IDK, but I think the spoon is cheating on the fork.

lolz...the cat plays the fiddle to encourage children to play instruments!

Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards. And if he wins he gets this shiny fiddle made of gold, but if he loses, the Devil gets his souuul!

Background Music for the cow as he/she jumped over the moon.^_^

If a cat is going to wear boots, then he might as well play a fiddle, if not, then the balance of him walking is messed up.

So he can earn moneys and leave that far away land to another land of fish and cream.
