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! ~B. - Original Message - From:

yes!  Theme songs, exactly - and some have a few.  We have songs about all of them too.  Once at work I caught myself humming one of them - at least I didn't start singing it, because it's called Big Headed Stinky Pants :) --- On Thu, 12/30/10, Bonnie Hogue ho...@sonic.net wrote: From:

Lol! From me, there's Look at That Baby Cat (Stormy's original) and She's a Little Boobinator; for Will it's Will, the Kitten Who's a Thrill. Miya Chan has a self-titled song. No song for Lucky...yet. Maybe something about Mr. Big Stuff or a Stinky Bug. God, I'm so weird! ~B. -

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

That's lovely Diane, all very great info.  We always talk about wishing they came with a 'baby book', because we have such a curiosity to know what their lives were like before us, what happened, what their story was.  We usually fill in the gaps.  For example, Whimsy is descended from the Czar

Wow, Shannon, that is fabulous news! And really weird since it sounded like once he got out he would never want to come back in. Most of our cats have been outdoor cats before they came here (3 were feral, one a stray) and when they look out the window at the subzero winter we wish there was a way

Same here, I sing to my feral kittens and they seem to love it. Trapped one in a snowstorm who was very ill and kept moving away, but fell asleep when I sang to him. When I got close, he'd wake and I'd stop, look away, start singing again when he relaxed and stoped looking at me. Finally

Diane 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
