“Cats are the coolest, smoothest, most mysterious members of the animal kingdom.”
“Recorded in 1983, “Velvet Kitty Cat” is a silly, synth-y pop song that generally remains light and fun.”
“Maybe boys don’t cry, but the Cure frontman always knows how to meow, and “The Lovecats” is his ode to feline romance.”
“Eliot wrote about a “phenomenal cat” named “Mr.”
“In the lyrics, Sam is transmogrified into a metaphor for another guy who’s always prowling around Syd’s girlfriend.”
“(Their aloof indifference to you and your boring human bullshit is a theme of Ricky Gervais’ popular new animated Netflix show, Alley Cats .) That regal status is why songwriters in every musical genre love a good cat metaphor — whether it’s Elton John in “Honky Cat,“ the Grateful Dead in “China Cat Sunflower,” or Prince in “Velvet Kitty Cat.” So here are our 30 favorite cat songs of all time, from jazz to rockabilly to R&B to pop, from the 1970s soft rock of Al Stewart to the Greenwich Village folk of Phoebe Buffay.”

“It’s the tale of a tourist enjoying a “morning from a Bogart movie/In a country where they turn back time.” His trip is upended when he meets a mystery woman who “looks at him coolly” and “comes in incense and patchouli.” The title alludes to astrology, though the cat could also be the patchouli-scented temptress herself.”
“The end of the song turns its title into a scary, growled chant, enough to make any rodent scurry for the next farm.”
