Again, how fitting!
The Cat in the Hat presents aging oh so negatively. And with that youthful, happy-cat picture of him, who would want to grow up anyways? “The Golden Years” seem to be distant, a time we want to avoid – but can’t. He lists all these things that ‘old’ people cannot do, all these things that will deteriorate, and all sorts of physical problems. He reminds us of what we may inevitably lose when we are old. But in doing so, he has a fighting, spunky approach, saying “The Golden Years can kiss my ass.”

This may suggest that when we age, our bodies may fail, but the intangible attitudes still prevail!
