Do you sing to your cats?

Knowing how much I sing to mine and how much they enjoy (? :eek: ) it and seeing that Garry sings to his, it made me wonder how many others might sing to theirs.

I started singing to them as a way to hopefully clam Amy when she is stressed and I really think it works. On those car trip to Kevlins, she gets totally paniced and so upset that I get upset, she rips and pulls on the kennel with her nails. So during our clamer times at home when she is in my lap purring, I started singing to her and I can tell it relaxes her. Doing it in the car, she quiets right down, glueing her eyes on me while I sing and is quiet as a mouse. The rest of them quiet down too, so even as squeeky as my voice is and my lack of talent, it helps! I have to main songs I sing to them "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and " You are my Sunshine".

Do you sing to yours and what do you sing to them?

A gust of wind can send Max into hiding. I can only imagine what my singing voice would do it him.... :eek: :rolleyes: :D No, I wouldn't torture the poor boy like that.

Not only do I sing, but I also dance with them. Well, not ALL of them, just Shortie. She LOVES it when I hold her in my arms like a baby and dance with her while I sign along with a certain song by Bob Dylan (can't remember the name but it's got a cool beat to it).

MooShoo loves when I hold him like a baby and sing "Mr. Sandman", making up my own words...

"Mr. Mooman, bring me a daream,
Make him the sweetest little naked buddy
I've ever seen"

The rest is Lalalalalalala cuz I don't know the words. :rolleyes:

I try to sing to Jack but my voice is awful and he probably hears a terrible racket that leaves him almost deaf!!
I sing Skater Boy by Avril Lavigne but replace it with 'he was a tiger boy, she said see ya later boy etc etc...which embarasses the hell out of Kevin, especially if I do it front of other people, cause it doesn't make any sense and sounds terrible! :D
I mostly just call him in an elongated tune that must sound awful! like Jaaaaaaaackkk a rudi' for some reason I call him Jack-a-rudi and I have absolutely no idea where that came from :D
Though he also has tons of other names I call him like:
Jacko
Jack the lad
Stripey pants
Sausage
Sausage Pants
Tiger Boy
Tiger pants
Mummy's special tiger
Mummy's special sausage

I also don't know where I got the pants bit from, maybe cause sometimes It looks like he's wearing furry pants :p

I sometimes call sunny
Sunny Dee Dee
Sunny Didi Pops

I also have no idea where that came from!
Yes I am clearly insane :rolleyes:

I would love to, but I don't want to scare them :D Even in my shower I do not sing ;)

But I talk to them a lot, I explain them what I am doing, I tell them stories, and bla-bla-bla :)

I sing to my kitties all the time..........instead of real songs, I just sing what's going on to them.....like "time to eat, eat, eat, time to eat....."

I sing "I wish they all could be calico girls...." to my Eepie to the tune of "California Girls" by the Beach Boys.....She knows that song is just for her because she'll start to purr whenever she hears the tune. :D

Like several other posters, I wouldn't torture my cats by singing to them. I do hum since I've found that they find that sound calming. When I'm socializing a feral cat, I don't talk at first as I take in food etc., I hum all the time. After about a week or so of humming, I start talking nonsense in a very low voice. I've also danced with a few of my cats, like Donna, but then I only hum as I dance.

Not only do I sing, but I also dance with them.

Hahaha! I do too! And Chuckie hates it. He gets airplane ears as soon as I start rocking him. :D

Me too and they HATE it (the dancing, that is). As for singing, I do all the time, making up silly kitty words to regular songs. my favorite is Mishi or Mitzi Noodles (I have NO idea where the Noodles came from) sung to the tune of Don Ho's "Tiny Bubbles"

Mishi Noodles

Mishi Noodles

Mishi Noodles
You are so CUTE

:) Oh yes all the time = my favorite is "How much is that Kitty in the Window = is She Worth One Meow or Two {oh yes I do the meows too} && Maybe that Kitty in the Window is Worth Four Meows & many many more".. :o
Then I sing goofy tunes with their names in as some of the words..

Mine is sung to the tune of Sherry.
