I love reading musical bios, but this was a surprise. I never knew that John Lennon was a cat lover. Mind you, it makes sense. His public demeanor kinda screams cat lover, doesn’t it?
You can see all the names of John Lennon’s cats on Mental Floss.
Do you know of any other celebrity cat lovers? I’d love to hear who they are.
I’m listening to Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers with my daughter. She keeps bobbing her head to the catchy songs and looking at my cats every time she hears the meows. It’s funny to think that my kitties, Tizi and Torre barely meowed when i recorded that album. Now they meow a LOT… at everything and nothing. Funny how that works.
Listening to the album reminded me that I was hoping to have a cat show next year at the Renaissance festivals I perform at. I’ve never done a cat show at faires. But I have so many cat loving fans on the circuit. It just hit me that I really need to put together a show. My plan is to debut something at Sherwood Forest Faire in February. Make sure you sign up to my mailing list if you want to find out when and where the show will happen.
Oh! One final question. The show will feature 7-9 cat songs. What are you absolute favorite songs (see cat lyrics for song titles) from my albums? Which would you like to hear in this show?

Too awesome! I was just told about a cool new app for your iPhone. It’s the Human-to-Cat Translator. Want to know what your cat is saying? You might need this app! Click here to check it out on iTunes.
If nothing else, it looks like a lot of fun.
Yasmine doesn’t feel like a normal person. That’s why she loves the internet. She also loves her cats. I can relate. That’s why she publishes a cat comic blog called Cat Versus Human. It’s very appropriate and funny as can be for any cat lover. I’m a regular reader.
She now has a new book featuring her comics. Check it out!
My facebook page was just slammed with the idea of doing a Celtic Christmas Songs for Cat Lovers CD. Admittedly, I don’t really have time to do this. I’m still trying to write my own original Celtic Christmas CD.
I might be convinced though. However, it would have to be another group effort. I don’t have lyrics. I want original lyrics written by you. No music is necessary though if you have a parody, that’s fine. Write it. Post it here. Share this blog with other cat lovers.
The album would be about Celts, cats and Christmas. Pretty simple, huh?
Maybe this is could turn into an album in the future.
I, and all my fans, were psyched as can be to see that videos from my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers albums were featured on icanhascheezburger.com. Thanks to everyone who spread the word about it for me.
Oh! And if you’d like to help do some more. I’m looking for bloggers.
I would love to add more content to the Cat Music Blog. The problem is time. I just don’t have enough of it. But there are a bunch of folks out there like you ARE looking for new cat songs, videos, comics, etc. How would you like to to help me share that info with others?
If you’re interested, then email me slainte@marcgunn.com. Put “Cat Music Contributor” in the subject line. In the body of your email, give me a username. I will add 3-5 people to the blog to start adding content.
You can post news, videos, pictures, art, products, etc.. It’s up to you, but please remember…
Oh! I could also use an Editor to monitor and approve the content that is posted. Let me know if you’re interested.
Happy Birthday TnT!
That’s Tiziano and Torre for the uninitiated. I got these two sweet kitties of mine at the end of 2002. I had to guestimate their birthday. I picked September 15th.
If I really thought about it, I should’ve picked Bilbo Baggins’ birthday (Sept 22nd) or even Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept 19th). They’re kinda pirate-like at times… Though I don’t think that holiday was invented then.
Nevertheless, my wee boys turn NINE today. I think that makes them officially old. Though that seems strange since they’re gonna live at least another nine or thirty years…
Ah well. Happy birthday boys!
I’ve had several people email me this video. It is pretty dang funny! I haven’t tried the service, but sounds cool as can be.
A week ago, the Cat Music Blog was hacked. I lost all my former content. There was one positive thing that came out of this. I can redesign the site.
When I started the Cat Music Blog in 2005, it was a supplementary site to my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers webpage. This was the cat news site as well as the home to Cat Lovers Podcast. My goal was to promote the podcast and of course capture some search engine traffic for cat music fans. That’s it. Everything else would go to the webpage designed to sell Cat CDs.
I love the old website, but I haven’t released a new cat CD in a couple years. I needed something a bit more dynamic to promote my cat songs. That’s why I took the time to redesign this site.
I have some FAQ about my music, a place where you can buy CDs, the feed for the Cat Lovers Podcast, and now a cat lyrics page to quickly and easily direct you to all my cat song lyrics from each album I release.
I will continue to post videos and cat news, and keep an eye open for a brand new podcast. Yes, I hope to release 2-4 new shows each year. But who knows. Maybe I’ll talk to Tracey Tracy and we will dive head first into a whole new world of Cat music, cat news, and cat fun. Because that’s what Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers is all about.
