Briefly gripped by crippling ennui, Butterscotch shakes it off and reminds himself of his sacred purpose: meowing at Chili.

We have a plastic cat igloo that we leave in the yard along with daily food and fresh water. We made into an outdoor fort warms by adding the heated cat pad for those snowy frozen days. We have three visitors at various times day and night which stimulates the five inside cats! This thread makes me happy with all of the awesome people taking care of pets that just need some food, an extra bit of love and attention or some dietary discipline.

POOL IS CLOSED posted:You can really tell how much he's slimmed down! His belly flaps are actually kinda cute. Buttery fella. So time to admit something very embarrassing. When I see butterscotch when I come home, I sing this song (to the tune of "Let's All Go To The Lobby") Who's my buttery fella? Who's my buttery fella? Who's my buttery fellaaaaa? His name is butterscotch! Then I grab his head and jiggle it.

If anyone in this thread says they do not make up songs to sing to their pets, they are dirty liars. This is the one Charlotte gets when she's in my lap, to the tune of The Long and Winding Road: The long and winding tail That slaps me in the face Will never disappear I've seen this tail before It's always leads me here Leads me to your butt

Mine is "here comes Meyer, he's a berserker" sung to the tune of that weird little song from the end of Clerks. I should probably switch which cat I sing it to, given that Meyer has gotten downright polite and Rosie's the twenty-pound battering ram of enthusiasm, but old habits die hard.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:And I know I said this before, but I'd totally chip in to a communal Butterscotch flap extraction fund Same. I'd look at it as indirectly donating to a small fostering organization as well as helping out the nice Butterscotch. You do good poo poo for cats, Chili. On songs: all of my current cats are nicknamed after some other animal: little grey Mouse used to squeak, Ponies likes to rear up like a horse for pets, and Bears because he's orange, and to quote Milne, he's That Sort of Bear. (don't ask why they're plural...) Occasionally there's "ponies the cat" to the tune of Felix's theme, but I just remember those three words. Pretty regularly there's: bears bears bears he's a little little bears he's a little fuzzy bears a little fuzzy wuzzy bears (repeat) sung to him while in the shower, because he hangs out in the bathroom and likes when I talk/sing to him.

I sing to my cats all the time. Sometimes I even use pre-existing melodies. Most of the time I just make up the tune as I go, though WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT is always a favorite to sing to Norris. (When it comes on the radio I dance with him and he hates hit. )

Chili posted:Oh my god. I'm not the only crazy person who bastardizes songs and sings them to their cat. Heck no! Every one of my kitties has their own song. Once I get down to figuring out how to post pictures, I shall post! In the meantime, my tortie's Emma's song, to the tune of Green Acres: Who is the baby? Emmie Who is the baby? Emmie Who is the baby, who is the baby, who is the baby? Emmie! (As a side note, I almost lost her last August when I took her in for her spay and she had a horrible reaction to the anesthesia induction drugs. She went from not breathing on her own with fixed and dilated pupils to jumping around like in ninja in under 48 hours, but I still think of her as this fragile baby girl--hence the song.) Finn, a gray and white cow cat, is the the Name Game tune, using "Finnie". Finnie, Finnie, bo-ber-nee, Bo-na-na-fanna-bo-fer-nee, Vee fi mo-mer-ney, Finnie! Loki, a big squishy tabby (about 19 pound-worth) to On Top of Old Smokey: A kitty named Loki, All covered with fluff, He's such a big sweetheart, That I can't get enough. Sophie, a tuxedo: O Sophie-mio.. (in English, though. I know no Italian!)

Chili posted:Well, as far as I'm concerned outdoor cats without a collar are fair game and it sounds like you'd make for a good owner. It's cool of you to put up flyers and such but that also means you may be best suited holding onto to the kitty. If the owners come around looking for it and it decides to go somewhere else, that won't be good for anyone. To be fair to some people, we tried very hard to get our outdoor (TERRIFIED of being in houses) cat to wear a collar. It vanished every time.  We went through four before we gave up.He's since passed away, but out of sheer curiosity, is there a way to somehow make that not happen? Because christ, he was a magician with that thing.

Nope, if a cat can figure out how to get a cat safe collar off the only thing you can try to do is make the cat like wearing a collar. You can't use a dog collar or anything like that because it could get stuck and choke them. I mean, if it's a cat that doesn't have free roaming privileges you can establish that collar means outside, otherwise you have to just use positive association with treats and hope for the best.

My horrendous song that I sing to my fat fluffball Odin is this awful kids song I've had stuck since my oldest (who is now 13) was a toddler, it's the one that just goes "peanut, peanut butter. and jelly!" Only when I sing it to Odin it's "Fluffer, fluffer butter. AND JELLY!" and I make sure to give his fat belly a good shake when I say jelly. e: I almost forgot, Persephone has a song set to Barry Manilow's Copacabana that just goes "She's my cutie, cutie patootie" I have no imagination and haven't gotten any farther than that.

I don't really sing to my cats except finding stupid ways to say "good morniiiing nice kittiiiiies". I do however have ten thousand nicknames for each of them. Malachi is Mally, Mallydoodle, Doodlebug, Sugarbear, and Gooberpea. Leo is Fluffypuff, Tubbs, Tubbo, Big Boy, and Giant Baby. Buttercup is Butterbutt, Butterbean, Beanybutt, Sweetiepie, Squeakyhead, and The Most Delicate Little Princess Baby Whinyhead (I mean, that's what she is). I'm sure there's more that I can't remember right now.

I started singing to cats when Simba (previously posted orange and white Best Cat Ever) went blind. It reassured him that I was there, let him know where I was, etc. A few years of that, and it became habit.

I sing poop songs, usually when I am waiting for dogs to do their last business. Not sure where the tunes come from , probably a nursery rhyme. Words vary but the general gist is "please poop now, I'm cold and I wanna go home"

Lock your cat in the bathroom with you and take a really hot shower so the room gets all steamy?
