I used to sing a Wiggle Song when they would wiggle around, but they would always stop wiggling and look at my like I was an idiot. I don't sing the Wiggle Song anymore.
I swear, I really can carry a tune, too!

I always sing to my cats. This past few months it has been "Dynamitee", by Miss Dynamite (v. popular in the UK - garage style music), except changed to "Mittenitee". I also dance around the house with a cat in my arms - they don't seem to mind too much.....

I sing to Jedi all the time! :tounge2: I usually sing, "I Swear", maybe kinda corny but it's how I feel about him!


I Swear
By the moon and the stars in the sky, I'll be there
I Swear
Like a shadow that's by your side, I'll be there

For better or worse, til death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I Swear

We sing to them all the time! (But we sang stupid stuff before they were here. When Gary's in an especially happy mood he whistles and sings while doing stuff - of course in the shower too....).

Kim - we usually use the Little Teapot tune, but we make up words..

You're my little nutcake, short and fat...

Neither of us can carry a tune. Well - Gary can when he tries. He actually sang in the Lyric Opera (Chicago) when he was 10 or 11.

Jeanie G. - what about you????? Haven't seen you "chime into" this thread yet!

I sing to Spidey all the time. Usually though instead of words I sings meows. His favorite is when I meow "Once upon a midnight clear" and dance the waltz with him.

My boyfriend looks at me like I'm nuts when I do it.

OMG Flim Flam, you wanna be careful dancing around with a cat your arms..... in our old house we had big glass patio doors which faced onto a biiiiig feild (there wasn't a fence at the end of our garden, so you could see straight out), one day, I was doing the usual dancing round the house with a kitty when I suddenly got the ugre to swing a teatowel around too... so there I was, dancing with a cat, and swishing this teatowel around my head and around kitty (he didn't mind, he knows he has to tolerate his mums madness) and siging along to some ridiculous music, when, in the middle of a big twirl round, I see a man tood at the end of the garden watching through the patio doors!! He was DYING with laughter!!! :laughing: I, on the other hand, was dying of embarassment!!
:laughing2 I tucked kitty and teatowel under my arm and legged it into the kitchen quick smart!! :LOL: :LOL:

PS, Nenners, I also sing to the tune of "You are my sunshine" but I change it to "You are my dumpling, my only dumpling"... etc etc
(of course this applies mainly to Bod, as he IS a dumpling!!
)

LOL! My boss sings to her too! He makes up all kinds of goofy songs. I cracked him up with the "Black and White" song. We have a stereo system that goes through the entire office. We play all kinds of music. When the "black and White" song came on, I danced into Steve's office with Ninners singing "It don't matter if I'm black and white".
He laughed so hard he almost fell out of his chair! I have a lot of time by myself in the office so Ninners is my only company. We have lots of fun being goofy!I showed Spot to Steve yesterday. He loved the markings on his face! It would be too cute if they could date! If she wasn't spayed imagine what cute kitties they'd have!

That's a great picture! Did you do that? If you did you're a bl**dy good editor


Just thinking (ow) I have a bad habit of turning any song I like into a Suki/cat song. I change the words to fit Suki in, I'm obsessed


Example:

'Relight my fire, your fur is my only desire!'
'Relight my fire, 'cause I neeeeeed your fur!'

Then the Match of the Day music on UK TV has it's own words:

Suki the little moggy, she's covered in black fur.
Suki the little moggy, she really likes to purr.

And I'll sing all manner of silly tunes. Sometimes in some very odd squeaky voices.

This thread is HYSTERICAL!

How mad are we?

I can't sing at all - truly, truly hopeless. But I talk in rhyme to the kitties usually starting off by saying their name, and then creating derivations of the names until it gets too ridiculous or too difficult.

As a consequence I have 3 confused cats who answer to most anything that bears a remote resemblence to their names!!

But I do dance with my kitties - I can't sing but I can sure boogie my boots off! I've had one cat round my neck and the other 2 in my arms and I've been bopping like a mad thing!

How could I forget? Caught myself doing it this morning as we got ready for work... The name song!

Shelly-belly-bo-belly-fa-fe-fi-fo-felly - Shelly!
Munchie-bunchie-bo-bunchy, fa-fe-fi-fo-funchy - Munchie!
Lazlo-bazlo-bo-bazlo, fa-fe-fi-fo-fazlo - Lazlo! (Lazlo doesn't work so good - but do I care? NOT!)

YOLA - That is a darn good question! LOL!!

I am afraid of that answer <grin> There is truly no other place on the web to mutually go nuts with friends all over the world.. LOL!

BuNN - I'm a graphic designer ...I confess...I have extra time on my hands today and I simply couldn't resist putting Ninners and Spot together! Just too tempting...


LOL!

Do you use Photoshop? I'm still getting to grips with that :p Paintshop is my fave, easy to use and cheap too.

BuNN - watch out for Kim! It can be very difficult to tell if her pics are real...or if they're MEMOREX (did you have those commercials over there?...you won't be laughing if you didn't!)

Personally I love Photoshop. Photoshop 7 is what I use to make my web page! I'm certainly no graphic designer, but I love playing with filters and retouching photos!

As far as singing to my cat, I used to do that when I was a kid, to my cat Patterns. She would come running when I'd start singing. I don't sing much anymore with or without cats.
