"Mean-Eyed Cat" (or "Mean Eyed Cat") is a song written and originally recorded by Johnny Cash.
The song was recorded by Cash at Sun Records on July 30, 1955. Sun released it as a single (Sun 347, with "Port of Lonely Hearts" on the opposite side) in October 1960, which was the last Sun release by Cash as he left the label for Columbia a few years earlier.
Cash also made a completely revised cover of this song for his 1996 album Unchained.
