Watching the robins sing!
Although it is not specifically a cat song, I like "Our House" by Crosby, Still, Nash and Young...
Our house is a very fine house, with two cats in the yard...

(Of course today it would have to be two cats in the window!)

I love that song!

My fav is ''The Year Of The Cat'' by Al Stewart....awesome song!

Year of the Cat

Al Stewart & Peter Wood

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat

Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat

Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on

But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat

LOL I had totally forgot about that one!!!

I'll also have to check out "My Cat's Name is Maceo" by Jane's Addiction! since I do like some of their other stuff.

What's new pussycat and kitty on my foot are having a battle for my mind at this time.

Guess I deserve it for asking the question.

There's no place like home
Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats! I made a video of my cat Hippocrates bopping around with the song playing in the background. Of course he didn't bob by himself, but he tolerated 2 takes of the full song with me bouncing him around. Video was complete with garbage can, fake fish and other cats.

I LOVE that song, and so do my kids and grandson! It would be awesome to see the video that you made!! The words really fit J.C. and my former feral, tommyscott, esp.the former feral!!
I love the line, "But I got cat class and I got cat style" - it's a great inner dialogue to say when the going gets rough

I don't know if I have any favorite cat songs, but this made me think of an old 45 record (remember those?) that my mom had when she was a kid. The name of the song was Tom Cat, but I do not know who wrote or sang it. I remember some of the words too.
I got an old Tom Cat...and when he steps out...all the other cats...in the neighborhood....they, begin, to shout. There goes the ring tailed tom. Strutin, round the town and if you got your heat turned up, you better turn your temper down. Ring tailed tom on the fence, little pussy cat on the ground, ring tailed tom comes off of that fence, they start rustlin round
There was more to it and it was an upbeat/fast song. As a kid, I used to think this was such a funny song. The song on the other side of the record was just as silly. It was called Shoes and the guy sang about traveling shoes
