Do you sing to your cat?

Does anyone else do this? We make up lots of different melodies and when we find a good one we stick to it.

The song for blossom goes like this, "what a lovely lady lady lady you are! pretty eyes and pretty paws, special lovely lady."

The song for Billy goes like this, "B-i-l-l-y, he's our fella man! He knows how to play and where the trouble is. Billy! Billy! He's a loving inspiration."

Also I recently bought some conga drums and I will play a drum soundtrack when they play or fight with each other while my husband narrates: "the rare white panther of the serrengeti has found its prey and moves in for the kill. . . " we laugh for hours, but we really like music and dittys.

Anyone else do anything similar with their babies?

I always sing "Amazing Grace" to my baby kitty Serena. When she was very sick at about 4 months old, I started singing it to her, and she'd stare at me and blink her eyes, and purr...

She loves it, and I do too!
