Do you dance with or sing to your cats?

[Ripley]

No singing from me or Ripples but we do dance together on occasion- she loves being placed over my shoulders and riding around like that. Usually if I'm waiting for something to bake in the oven and I get bored, so I pick her up and we dance to the music that's on. I don't know if she likes it or not but she hasn't clawed me or jumped off so I assume she doesn't mind. My partner thinks I'm crazy but it's catching and pretty soon he's dancing around with her too

I don't play any music in the cat room(but now I want to lol). I do like to dance with Bubbles and make up songs about her, she seems to love it (She starts purring). Dutchess has the same reaction, but I think she just likes to cuddle, she will even ride my horse with me if it means more cudding.

BUBBLES


DUTCHESS

An equestrienne cat! Cool!

People may enjoy the stories you added to your pictures. I don't think the stories
show up unless you quote the pictures in a reply. That's how I found them.

I got the singing to my babies habit from my dad... if you knew my dad, you would think I'm lying. He is the most serious, crabby, antisocial, stern, and sometimes downright mean person I've ever known. The kind of dad my boyfriends have been absolutely terrified of (his massive muscles are as intimidating as his personality). I'm the only person he confides in, trusts, and loves-- other than his dogs. He loves them all, but his best friend is his pitbull; she has the most songs about her. He usually makes them up, his "stinky is a doggypus, not octopus, a doggypus" song is her favorite. They're all super weird, but annoyingly catchy. My mom got him a kitten to keep him company when he moved out, and all the kitty songs he sung him, I now sing to my kitty. "Oh kitten, oh catten! Tabitten, tabatten!" Is my favorite. I also insert her name (or kitten, kitty, or cat) into any song stuck in my head. I also sing her any song involving eyes, mostly brown eyed girl and a bunch of Bright Eyes songs, because a lot of Bright Eyes songs mention eyes, like "eyes that burn so bright, they make me pure." My fiance sings "hey mickey" but instead of mickey he says "hey kitty, you're so fine! You're so fine you blow my mind, hey kitty!"
As for dancing, all my dads dogs have been taught to dance. They stand on their back legs and hop around, and if you hold their front paws they will slow dance in circles. My cats aren't too fond of dancing like that, but sometimes they'll put up with it for a few minutes.

OK! Now who's going to be the first one to post a video (with audio) of them singing to their cat?

Oh! I almost forgot this song, I sing this to azrielle everyday-- "Bo bo, skee wottin tottin, eh eh boom boom! Itty bitty wottin tottin, bo bo skee wottin tottin, eh eh skee wottin tottin, freeze! Please, american cheese! Do it with your pinkies please!" Etc., etc. Anyone remember this hand game from your childhood? (If you don't know what I'm talking about, its a nonsensical little song you sing while 'clapping' your hands with another person in some kind of pattern.. its more popular sister is "miss Mary mack mack mack, all dressed in black black black..." etc.) I also sing miss susie, but instead of Susie I say kitty: "miss kitty had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell. Miss kitty went to heaven, the steamboat went to-- hello operator, please give me number nine, and if you disconnect me, I'll chop off your-- behind the 'fridgerator, there was a piece of glass. Miss kitty sat upon it, and broke her little-- ask me no more questions, and tell me no more lies. The boys are in the bathroom, zipping down their-- flies are in the meadow, the bees are in the park. Miss kitty and her boyfriend are kissing in the-- dark is like a movie, a movies like a show. A show is like a Tv screen, and that is all I-- know I know my mama, I know I know my pa. I know I know my sister with the 40 acre bra!"
