Alone Time

When I’m all alone

I sing.

I sing so bad my cats dive under the couches and purr- and I’m pretty sure they’re doing that because they’re scared out of their minds.

My dogs will stay with me but somewhere into the first song their eyes start to water and after I go into my third or fourth song they start chewing on their paws- at which point I stop because I’m afraid if I don’t stop they’ll chew their legs off or something.

So why do I do it?

Because it’s fun.

That’s why.

  1. I think your furry friends are fine. If you remember Gary Larson’s What dogs hear/What cats hear cartoons……
    Dogs only hear their names and cats hear nothing….ipsofacto your cats are fine and dandy and your dogs are just worried ‘cos you’re not saying their names…work them into your songs and they’ll stop fretting.
    I am Cle the net vet….my work here is done.

  2. Hmmmm. I know you’re a pirate through and through but after she threw up in your ear the first time wouldn’t you have removed her from your shoulder?
    The other explanation is that your singing sounded like a cry for food and she was feeding you the only way she knew how. … Should I stop now???

  3. I took the regurgitation as a sign of affection which is what the little beasties do with each other. I didn’t want her to suffer feelings of rejection.

  4. I have a friend who tells me that when she sings alone (and it’s usually opera) her cat starts biting her ankles.

    I don’t know if that’s good or bad.
