Am I the only person who sings to their cat?

This was actually inspired by Angelz00's thread "How is your MeOw". I can't speak cat fluently, but I do sing to Ivo. My neighbors must think I'm absolutely nuts. My favorite song is...

You toe pretty
You my kitty
And I lub you
Cause you my Ivo.

Also, Ivo likes:

You so stinky
Oh yes you are
You so stinky
And you my kitty.

Does anyone else have a special "love" song for their furballs? Or am I just really strange?

Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one who sang to my cat.
I often sing the Dukes of Hazzard theme song and 'Lola'
He snuggles up to me when I sing, perhaps it comforts him, but for the life of my I dont know why he likes it. He is a strange one after all LOL.

LOL. I just sing around them all the time. But there is one song I sing to Asim, from The Simpsons, with a little alteration... originally this is Homer singing it to Marge.

"Oh Asim, You came and you brought me a turkey, on my day off of worky, oh Asim."

It doesn't mean anything, I just started singing it to him one day hee hee.

I sing to my ferals when they first arrive here. It helps two ways, it gets them used to my voice, and it calms them down. Thankfully, I can carry a tune. I sung with the Sourdough Sweet Adelines in Anchorage for 3 years.

Also when my horse got really ill, he was two years old at the time. He was horsepitilized at OSU in Isolation. I would go in, and sit on the floor with his head on my lap and sing to him. The song I use the most is "Angels Watching Over Me."

Thankfully, I can carry a tune.

Well I'm proud to admit I can't! The songs change key and tempo every time I sing them. But it's like what I tell Ivo every time I leave...I think it's what I say/sing, and not how I do it!

I don't sing to my cats, but I have read to them in the past. When I first moved back to PA from Michigan, my cat and I stayed at a friend's house. She had a dog, so kitty was in the basement. I would sit and read poetry to her. I also read Spanish stories when I was trying to improve my pronunciation.

I was just thinking about posting about this! I really thought I was the only one who sang to my cats. I really don't have any specific songs that I sing to them...just anything that pops in my head or if I have a CD playing on my computer. It's so funny to watch them while I sing to them. They all seem to stop what they are doing and watch me like my own little audience. It's just too cute!

Hissy...what an accomplishment on your singing! I'm a singer myself, but I haven't had many opportunities to use the talent in the past few years. I was a member of my colleges Show Choir and even majored in music education. Now, I've resorted to singing at Karaoke...pretty sad, huh? LOL!

I sing to mine all the time. I was moving once, and in the middle of a 5 hour drive, the radio broke. All 4 cats immediately began howling. I had to sing to them for the rest of the trip. It was listen to them or listen to me. Fred is a big Meatloaf fan. He will sit and listen to the entire Bat Out Of Hell cd. The rest like country music better.

I sing to mine fairly often, when I am alone with them anyway.

I generally just make them up as I go along. The song most often used is smelly cat (from friends)

I have tried the singing thing and Kiki hates it. If music is on and I am singing with it, she sits and meows over and over until I shut up. I guess I am not that great. She does the same thing if I read to her. I guess she only likes it when I talk directly to her in my kitty voice!!

Yep I sing to Bod, he has his own song... its to the tune of the kids cartoon Poddington Peas,- except I change it to Boddington Bear.. :laughing:
and for your listening pleasure.. it goes like this...:

"Down at the bottom of the gaaaaarden,
among the birds and the bees,
there lives a chubby little blaaaaack cat,
he's called a Boddington Bear,
a BODDINGTON BEAR!!! "


:laughing: :laughing2 oh the shame!

Hissy, I used to sing to my horse when I was grooming her. She seemed to like it, but I can carry a tune too. I sang in my college's Concert Choir and Chamber group for 4 years. I miss it, but I sing along to the radio, even at school. The students think I'm a little crazy because of it, but that's ok.

You're all mad! MAD I TELLS YA!

Okay I sing to Suki too. But it's more just silly noises I make. She just sits there and gives me that 'You're nuts' look.

YOU'RE A CRAZY CAT LADY!!!!!

(can't say that I sing to Cooper!!!)

Oh YEAH! I thought everybody sang to their kitties! LOL!
Let's see.... In my best baby voice, I sing the song "Found a Peanut" to Peanut and I sing "I'm a little Tea Pot" to GoGo. All of them love when we whistle a song or play the guitar...

LOL!

I make up songs for Ed and Coco all the time. The lyrics change daily. Every cat I've ever been owned by had their own song(s). Ed ignores me, but Coco looks at me like I'm weird. (She's right.)

My songs for Ninners:

Ninner's dinners One, clean my litter box
Ninner's dinners Two, worship my cute kitty socks
chicken, turkey, Three, where's my fancy feast
or beef jerky Four, feed me at least
Ninner's dinners Five, won't you scratch me please
Ninner's dinners Six, no I don't have fleas
Fancy Feast
Fancy Feast
For the little beast
Ninners dinners

You are my Ninners
My only Ninners
You make me happy
When skies are gray
No one will know dear
How much I wuv you
Please don't take my Ninners away!

Ninners, Ninners
little pooky wooky
Ninners
Wuv my Ninners
pooky pooky
pooky Ninners!

Encore!

I also sing Michael Jackson's Black and White except I change the words to "It don't matter cause I'm black and White". She's a moo cow kitty!

Here's another

Whisker Lickins
Whisker Ticklins
aren't they just the cutest Whisker dickens
I'm a cute putty
just a cute puttutie
you don't have to worry
because I'm all furry
Whisker lickens
Whisker ticklins
aren't they just the cutest Whisker dickens

LOL! Ninners and Spot should date...you sound like you would make a great kitty mommy-inlaw - <Grin>
