What's your cat's favourite song?

Just realised that every time I see ours I sing the Ed Sheeran line, 'last night you were in my room, now the bedsheets smell like you' especially if he is in situ on said bed. Obviously amended lyrics to 'I'm in love with a cubby'

Our other one is called Hero, so pretty much any Hero based song. Foo fighters, Julio inglesias, bonnie Tyler are his particular favourites.

The third is not a 'sing to me' kind of cat.

Anyone else, or is it just me?

My previous cats loved being sung to. One loved 'You are my sunshine' and the other liked anything where you changed a word for her name.
My current cat would probably look at me in disgust if I sung to her.

Girl Cat - I like big butts
Boy Cat - Born to be my baby
Both - You are my sunshine

And when moving a cat from a sofa, worktop or bed:
'You can leeeeeave your cat on'
Duh duh du-du duh daah

Grin

Applies to all cats, even the ones who don't like being serenaded

Thinking about it I used to sing the same to DD but with her two syllable name when she was small.

I love DD and cat very much and don't want either of them to fall off walls.

Tiger Feet (because he has stripey feet)

Bed shaped by Keane, because he's always in bed

Shaggy's It wasn't me.
Every time something is knocked off the mantlepiece or shelf the cat is totally innocent. Even if you saw his paw.

Merly-merly-merly-MERLEHHHH

To the tune of Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs

ForgiveMeFatherForIHaveGinned · 25/07/2019 14:43

I sing 'you're a hungry boyyyyy' to the tune of Black Keys Lonely Boy to my cat most mornings when I come down to feed him. Blush

Spidey66 · 25/07/2019 14:49

Not a cat, a dog...

To the tune of the theme from Rupert (showing my age here)
Maggie, Maggie the dog, everyone knows her name
Maggie Maggie the dog, and all of her games

I also sing Maggie May to her.

She told me she likes Diamond Dogs by Bowie and The Dog Days are Over by Florence and the Machine, but her favourite band is the Pet Shop Boys. OK I lied.

LoftHatchBliss · 25/07/2019 14:53

When it's time to feed them I sing Bwyd Time by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. I'm not Welsh and neither are my cats.

blamethecat · 25/07/2019 14:55

We I rewrote the lyrics to Master of puppets for one of our cats, it became 'Jasper of pusses' Blush, we also used to sing hey hey he's the Jasper (To the monkees song).

My three cats generally scoot out of the room if they hear me singing along to the radio etc, so guess they are not fine tuned to my lovely singing.!

SheSnapsThenSheFarts · 25/07/2019 15:04

I used to sing Love Cats to my last cat whilst dancing with him in my arms and juggling him about. Can't say it was HIS favourite thing but it sure as hell was mine

ifyoulikepinacolada · 25/07/2019 15:23

The cat likes Friday I’m in Love and the dog likes All I Want for Christmas is You
