Do your cats have their own theme tunes?

I always hear my cats’ theme tunes when I see them doing certain things.

My black girl is, well, tubby, but loves to run back and forth across the garden and her theme tune is Galloping Home from Black Beauty

My Bengal has real “big cat” traits and when she is lying in the sun surveying all her territory I often hear either the Out of Africa theme or Born Free

The ginger one is a bit sneaky and is often accompanied by Disney villain music; ditto the tabby so sometimes there are two Disneys going on at once

Do other people’s cats also have theme tunes?!

Ours do not have theme tunes but I am liking the idea.

We did have profiles for them. Our older dignified male would like a pipe by the fire and a nice merlot. Our ditzy longhair was definitely partial to a babycham and our current Naughty Tortie (who is a total thug) definitely has a fag hanging out her mouth at all times and most likely has a side hustle in recreational drugs supply.

My elderly Norwegian forest cat is a bit doddery these days to say the least. When I see her ambling up the garden I hear the theme to 'Last of the Summer wine' in my head

My cat has licked some fur off from around his bum. I sing to him “ I see you baby, with a bald asss, with a bald asss”

😂😂😂

No, but I intend to rectify this injustice immediately!

Gingerkittykat · 25/05/2023 17:20

This one for my ragdoll, you would need to see her walk to understand.

I don't have a song for my grumpy old man cat!

Julius Fucik - Entry of the Gladiators

"Entrance of the Gladiators" op. 68 or "Entry of the Gladiators" is a military march composed in 1897 by the Czech composer Julius Fučík.

This will be outing to anyone who knows me because my cats have such ridiculous names.

girl cat: to the tune of copacabana-
her name was licky, her paws were sticky…
and yes, my cat is called Licky 🤦‍♀️

boy cat, to the tune of the intro to seven nation army “elv is a black and Whitey, heeeeee isn’t a stri-i-ipey”

the other cat doesn’t have one. He’s not that kind of cat.

Snozzlemaid · 25/05/2023 19:16

We have a cat door bell sensor at the back door so we know when she wants to come in and we have it set to play the Pink Panther theme when she's there.
So hers is definitely that every time she comes in the door.

BlueKaftan · 26/05/2023 13:07

Here comes the cat
All dressed in black!

To the tune of Here comes the Bride.

It makes me happy 😃

Zinner · 27/05/2023 16:48

Our cat has a very plaintive meow when he feels his breakfast is late. (In fact when any meal might be due….)

So he gets a song to the tune of Matt Bianco ‘Yeah’ (80s band, maybe a bit obscure) ‘He says meow, that’s what he says, he says meow’

He never looks impressed by his song 🐈‍⬛

AngelsWithSilverWings · 27/05/2023 16:50

My two do but that's because they are called Ziggy Stardust and Jean Genie so we sing the songs to them often.

Findyourneutralspace · 27/05/2023 16:51

Ozzy has Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush when he’s on the windowsill waiting to get it.

’Its me…. It’s me, Ozzy…. Let me in at your window…’

MrsCatE · 28/05/2023 01:07

Oh dear, mine are a bit vanilla. I sing (vaguely to melody of "You are my sunshine") You are my 'bou, bou, my lovely bou bou, please don't take my luvverly, bou bou away'. Also versions of how he's the best cat in the world crowbarred into 'Hey, Big Spender' - this involves dance moves and lots of shimmying plus the occasional Peggy Lee looking back over the shoulder a la 'Lady and the Tramp'. Used to do anthems with BastardCat; MrCat would try adjusted lyrics to 'James - Sit Down' but he (cat) was pure Springsteen.

Kittensat36 · 28/05/2023 06:22

Ah, yes, You Are My Sunshine is one of my girls' theme as well.

You are my Kishmish,
My little Kishmish,
You are so furry
You're black, not grey....

I love this thread so much 😂

1st up Ivy - Simply the best. She's the oldest cat and thinks she rules the roost.

Betsy - Yes Sir I can boogie (specifically the opening bit) she's very fluffy, quite coquettish, I always imagine she would speak French if she could talk

Alfie - Ace of Spades always plays in my head when he goes into regular beast mode and flys around at the speed of light jumping on everyone and everything f with his ears black and all 30 claws out!

I have made up a song for each cat. I sing, they come running. There are four cats.

Then I have a general cat song, sung to the tune of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" which starts "all my kitty catties, all my kitty catties" and occasionally, if no one's watching, we'll dance.

Betsy loves to sit in front of the fan and let it blow her fluff so I sing Beyoncé to her too "if you liked it then you should have put your fluff on it...."

Clarabe1 · 28/05/2023 08:16

Mine has the stars and stripes. We live in north west UK. Nothing about it makes any sense but it feels right so we go with it.

NotEvenSlightlyReasonable · 28/05/2023 08:24

We have Millie the Moocher 😁. And at night I sing Lou Reed's Goodnight Ladies to both our girls.

Just seen I mis-typed! 20 claws lol not 30. He's not deformed or anything....

My cat's is Gangsta's Paradise 😂

Emmalou0607 · 28/05/2023 10:22

We sing 'Lola sprout, she smells like trout' to our cat Lola. In reality she does not smell like trout and I'm not sure where her nickname Sprout originated but when we got her she was quite stinky as the home she came from wasn't great so the fact she smells has just stuck with her despite no longer smelling.

I'm sure she's plotting her revenge...

catmania · 28/05/2023 10:39

One of mine has the Jaws theme tune. When I'm lying in bed reading I can hear her approaching then I see the top of her tail gliding past the bed like a dorsal fin. Will have to think of some more now though.

Belleweather · 28/05/2023 10:58

I'm every woman (Chaka Khan). Her real name is Juno-Louise but I call her Chaka.

Love this thread!

MadelineZott · 28/05/2023 11:25

Not theme tunes but songs, yes. Boy cat "They call him Mr Top Basket" (Boombastic by Shaggy) and girl cat her name sung to the tune of the "pia-pia-piano" bit of I Am The Music Man. Various other songs too including the "Ian Wright Wright Wright" football chant but with the cats' nicknames.

Prue, Piper & Phoebe? That's so cute, I love it 😍
