Thanks for that. It might seem a bit "out there" but does strike a certain
chord. Of course, I'm a northern Californian, so...
But I do also feel compelled to sometimes tell the cats their own story and
praise them for their accomplishments (my one cat, Miya, had a litter of
kittens at the creek and didn't come in from the cold until all the kittens
had found a home). I do thank my cats for their friendship...again, who
knows, maybe I'm just talking to myself, but it makes me feel better and the
cat certainly tolerates it!

The listmom of my feral-cats list (she is Wiccan) feels strongly that cats
love to be sung to, and to have their own special song. So y'all are on
the
right track! She also says that cats love to be told their own story --
where they came from, how you met them, whatever. She feels that there is
a
special kind of communication and they sort of understand on a cellular
level that the song or story is about them. I'm not as radical as that,
but
I do occasionally try to tell one cat or another its story. Can't hurt!
Oh,
and she tells people to explain things to cats and ask their permission,
forgiveness or whatever. This might be useful for those of us going
through
hard times with our kitties -- assisted feeding, pilling etc.

So I'm not the only one who makes up little songs for the cats!
Each cat has its own song (some have several) -- a kind of "theme song".
For some reason, I do this for every cat. I wonder why we do this?
The songs are quite nice...or so the cat thinks!
ha!

It's good to know I'm not the only one who makes up silly little
songs to sing to my cats :-)
