Is He Singing Or Crying?

My cat follows me round the house, everywhere. So when I get in the shower he just perches himself on the floor mat or in the doorway and sits quietly waiting until I'm done.

Unless I start singing.

The minute I start singing he does this really whiny meow. Its almost howling. He's either joining in with me or is exceptionally distressed.

I test it out every time now and and soon as I stop, so does he.

I thought it might have been the genre of music but I've tried pop, rock, r&b, country. I've even knocked out a few show tunes.

What's his beef!

No, I tend not to sing in the rest of the house. The acoustics aren't as good.

My cat used to behave the same. I convinced myself that he enjoyed my singing, although my singing voice has been likened to a cats choir!

Give it a try, see if he howls.

Hhhmm, well I just did a round of Trouble Maker to him and he didn't do a fat lot. But that might be because he's an Olly Murs fan. Ill have to try that one next time I doing my ablutions.

Actually, you're probably right Trigger. He must really hate Olly Murs. He's not going to sing along to a song he doesn't like is he.

Try "What's new pussy cat" or "Have I told you lately that I love you"

Bastard Wolf. That's what you're looking for. I mean, if their parents were unmarried...

Never tried Abba, I'll give it a whirl. Well, not literally. That would be dangerous.

Eric cries if I sing along with Adele or if I'm humming, and I think he's distressed... bloody critic cat is going back to battersea if he carries on!

My 2 bengals will sing when I am having a shower, if i am in the bath its totally different, I think they protest of me not having a bath, they like to play in the water when bathing, little sods.

Clearly they don't appreciate real talent when they see it.

I quite agree Evian. He especially dislikes if I start to sing 'someone like you'.... maybe he's more of a heavy metal man cause me screaming at him to stop scratching the carpets doesn't seem to upset the little ginger bar steward at all.
