Might have been mentioned already, but there's a fine little comp on Projekt inspired by cats called A Cat-Shaped Hole in My Heart. Aw.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 3 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Band names include Kittie and Kittens. "Kitty" by Presidents of the U.S.A. "Clyde," by the Twilight Singers (one of the members has a cat named Clyde).

unknown or illegal user, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There is a compilation on Project which features a bunch of goth bands educating the listener about the dangers of feline leukemia virus...I think it is called, "The Cat Shaped Hole In My Heart."

I don;t know if anyone has mentioned it because I am too tired to read the whole thread, but Basemnt Jaxx's "Rendes Vous" has a cat in it.

Meow Mix commercial.

The sound of those meowing in tune cats used to haunt me in kind of a spooky way.

Grove Amanda remix

Man I hope this wasn't a typo.

Anyway: "I Am A Cat" by Shonen Knife is a personal favourite.

Charlie (Charlie), Sunday, 29 December 2002 21:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I saw a great video in the early '80s (mixed in with some Residents) of a handsome darkhaired fellow whose be-yoo-tee-ful cat was playing the conga drums

tom cleveland (tom cleveland), Monday, 14 June 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Current 93 "The Bloodbells Chime" from "All the pretty little horses." The song refers to Tommy Catkins at the Somme, after a painting by Louis 'Catland' Wain.

paul c (paul c), Monday, 14 June 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Third Eye Foundation's Little Lost Soul contains "I've Lost That Lovin' Feline". This recorded after he lost his cat, obviously.

frankE (frankE), Monday, 14 June 2004 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Fish and Roses (I think) have a "song" consisting of a very loud cat purr.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 14 June 2004 21:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Karen Mantler's entire career revolves around her (now deceased) cat Arnold. Best song is the one where he's dead. Poor little guy.

dlp9001, Monday, 14 June 2004 21:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Get yourself a good Sub Pop 200 sampler and check out the song by Cat Butt. That'll take care of what ills ya.

Mr Deeds (Mr Deeds), Monday, 14 June 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

willem, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 13:21 (fourteen years ago)

As a young man you were shooting rats
By accident you hit the farmyard cat
He ran for the fields and
came back the next day
You had blown out his eye
and you could see his brain
Your dad said "Boy, there are some things in life.
You don't want to do but you know is right.
So take him out back and finish him off."
You got your gun off the shelf
it only took one shot

Kathleen Edwards, "Scared At Night"

Kevin Coyne & Dagmar Krause - 'I Confess'.

I confess that I killed the cat
That cat was speckled and fat
It was an angry cat
But I thought it was laughing

mookieproof, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 03:00 (fourteen years ago)

there's a formula

change one-syllable words to 'cat'
any names to cat's name
two-syllable words = "kitten"

etc

lawrence and the machine (electricsound), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 03:06 (fourteen years ago)

unsatifying, tbh

I don't kitten stay at your kitten
I don't kitten talk with your friends
I don't kitten vote for your president
I just kitten be your kitten kitten
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd be kitten
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd be kitten
I don't kitten stay at your kitten
I don't kitten talk to your friends
I don't kitten vote for your president
I just kitten be your kitten kitten
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd be kitten
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd like to see
It's a place I'd like to be
It's a place I'd be kitten

Starting at about 4:05 in. If you have any cats in the room, they will spend the next few minutes freaking out!

thread does not seem to mention my two favorites:
Belle & Sebastian - “A Century of Elvis”
The Only Ones - “Out There in the Night”

Lidsville U.K. (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 13 December 2019 17:04 (six years ago)

"All Dead, All Dead" by Queen was written by Brian May in memory of the passing of his childhood pet cat. Hard to listen to this song without tearing up, just a little.

Joni Mitchell - "Man From Mars".

"Kitty Come Home" - Kate and Anna McGarrigle

This, of course, is not about a cat but written by Anna to Kate about her failing marriage.
