Mid-Week Cat Thread: Songs we sing our cats

[beowulf]

In carrying on MVP’s tradition of cat threads, how about those songs we sing our cats? We all know about cats featured in diaries, poems about cats, but what about songs?

I have a laundry inspector. Her job is to flatten folded clothes by laying on them. I even have a song for her:

To the tune of Spiderman:

Laundry cat, laundry cat
Goes wherever the laundry’s at
Likes it warm, likes it cold
She don’t care, she’s so bold
To her… life is a great big sock pile
Wherever there’s a stock pile
You’ll find the laundry cat!

Years ago, there was a COTH poster who shared a ditty that stuck. I’m sorry to say I’ve forgotten the poster, but the song has stayed with me! I hope I remembered it correctly. It went something along the lines of:

You cat, you cat
Turn you into stew cat
Sell you to the zoo cat
Trade you for some new cats

And many more iterations - I’ve added the following

Box you in a cube cat
Hold you in plain view cat
Workin on the queue cat
Split you into two cats

So, yourself? What splendid songs have the cat muses sprung upon your house?

To the tune of O’Christmas Tree…

Oh Peepy Cat, Oh Peepy Cat
How lovely are you Peepy Cat!

You hide behind
Things left and right
With only oneeeeeee
Eye-ball in sight

Oh Peepy Cat , Oh Peepy Cat
You stand in splendid beauty!

Not Whatever Lola Wants (from Damn Yankees)?

To the tune of the Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar”

Orange Kitty!
How come you are so crazy?

Orange Kitty!
You don’t smell like a daisy.

[BraveSC]

Oh yes that one too!

From West Side Story to the tune of “I’m so Pretty.” --lyrics for Maude, my indoor cat --who is queen of all cats, in her own opinion:

“You so Pretty!, oh so Pretty, you so pretty and kitty, I say, and no one loves you as much as I do that way.”

“You so charming, oh, so charming, it’s alarming how charming you are, and no lone loves you as much as I do that way.”

Back to first chorus.

To my kitty Clem, who’s actually named for the “Darling Clementine” song…

In a cat cave, on a pillow,
Sleeping all the day awaaaaay,
Dwelt a feline
In the sunshine,
And she’s known as Clementine.

I love this one!

Wnen you wish upon a cat
Doesn’t matter where you’re at
When you wish upon a cat
There’s fur on you

Sung to “Alexander Hamilton” -

Maximus Imperius, your name is Maximus Imperius
And there’s a million things you haven’t done
But just you wait, just you wait . . .

(The Maximus Imperius in question, looking his usual smug self.)
