How does "Stray Cat Strut" relate to Micah at all? Seriously:
"Black and orange stray cat sitting on a fence
Ain't got enough to pay the rent.
I'm flat broke, but I don't care.
I strut right by with my tail in the air."

First off, leopards aren't black and ORANGE. Secondly, Micah has an all black leopard form. As for being broke, okay, he doesn't really have a job job. I mean, he runs the Furry Co, but there was never any indication that paid. However, we do find out in Affliction that Micah has been forcing people into the group by shagging and killing them. Why not make money that way as well. Still, even if he's not getting funds, he is hardly broke! Anita takes care of him! He gets to live in a nice house and owns custom made suits! That is hardly broke! As for the last line in this verse, when the fuck does Micah ever strut? Again, we learn he is being abusive so it is very possible that he has a different side to him when Anita is not around, but Anita doesn't know that, and she is the one saying this song is perfect for him!

"Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies' cat,
A feline Casanova, hey man, thats where its at
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can."

Excuse me while I clutch my sides in laughter. Micah! A ladies' man! Hahahahahahaha!A Casanova! Okay, even if women found him attractive as much as Anita seems to think, there is a difference between being seen as attractive to women and being a ladies' man. The rest of the verse I already complained about so no need to go over that again.

"I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,
"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."
I wish I could be as carefree and wild,
but I got cat class and I got cat style."

Again, Micah is not portrayed as the type to go looking for a fight (until Affliction, but again, Anita doesn't know about that yet). Howling and singin... yeah, because Micah is soooooo (TM Anita Blake) vocal, and can't you just picture him being all soulful with something like the blues? As for wishing he was as carefree and wild, I could see that, but not because he was class and style, more because he is too much of a pansy.
