She looks a little annoyed though.

1. Sing the song again and substitute your cat's name for every lyric.
She'll dig it.

2. I sing to my Great Dane puppy all the time
She especially likes "Here comes the sun" 'cause of the "Little darlin'" line.

What's weird is she sings back! Not bad, either.

4. Each of my dogs,
each of my cats and each of my horses have special songs just for them with their names inserted into it.

My oldest horse gets "Stony Boy" (Danny Boy) and he always puts his forehead on my chest and sighs or dozes when I sing it to him. He is quite content to let me sing forever and scratch his jaw.

My cats seem the least impressed with my vocal abilities. Still, they do seem to perk up when their names come up.

14. Our dog is a pit bull mix, though
very peaceful fellow, btw.

The only way he would hurt someone is if you tripped over him while he was sleeping

17. I'm in love with Poodle with a Mohawk.
Can you PM me and tell me more about this? Is this something you created? It's genius, and I'd love to learn more! :hi:

9. My cats love to hear us sing to them. One them, the oldest, gets super
affectionate if we sing his song.

10. I used to always sing to my horse when out riding. He
loved it and showed discontent when I stopped. His favourite was "In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning / High upon the gallows tree,/ Kevin Barry gave his young life / For the cause of liberty..."

15. My birds like it when I sing to them, especially when I insert
their name into the lyrics as often as possible. I can't sing at all, but they don't care--it's attention.

16. The Wiley and Excellent (Boy) Cat Named Ginger
_loves_ music. His favorite (I swear) is this Atomic Kitten song, "The Tide is High." If he's sleeping and that song comes on the radio, his tail keeps time (though that may also be a sign of annoyance.) No joke, folks.
