Great Balls of Fur (Proposed Allergy Medication Advertising Song)

A song about a cat and its owner who has allergies:

(To the tune of “Great Balls of Fire”, by Otis Blackwell, and popularized by Jerry Lee Lewis)

You shed your fur and you're making me sneeze,
So much fur produces allergies,
You rub my knees, it makes me wheeze,
Goodness gracious, great balls of fur!

I try to stand it but I’m too symptomatic,
You can’t help it that I’m so asthmatic,
I wheeze and whine, all of the time,
Goodness gracious, great balls of fur!

You’re frisky kitty, whoo, you’re so good.
Hold you kitty, I want to pet you like an owner should.
You’re soft, but I cough,
These allergies make me lose my mind, mind, mind…

You chew your fur and you leave cat food crumbs,
I love you but these allergies are no fun,
So much dander, I mean no slander,
But goodness gracious, great balls of fur!

Frisky kitty, whoo, you’re so good.
Hold you kitty, I want to pet you like an owner should.
You’re soft, I cough,
With allergies I lose my mind, mind, mind…

You shed your fur and you're making me sneeze,
So much fur produces allergies,
Oh what a thrill, I take a pill,
And goodness I can face balls of fur!

(In this {proposed} ad, the owner would be playing with their cat{s}, and they'd sneeze and such, after which they would go to their medicine cabinet, take out the product {an allergy medication in the form of a pill}, take the pill, and in the last shot, as the song sings: "And goodness I can face balls of fur", the owner is lying down on the couch, and the cat{s} crawl up the owner's abdomen towards the camera, which is a POV shot from the owner's perspective, showing the owner facing "balls of fur".)
