So much soul, you can tell he's struggled in his life. Such a tragic story lies behind those eyes and the only way for him to express himself is through the art of jazz
My cat used to do this all the time when I had a little 15 watt frontman amp when I was younger still living at home. I think she liked the vibrations mostly.
I grew up with cats and they have remained my favorite pets throughout the years. I always rescue from the shelters and I adopt the ones that have been at the shelters the longest. Once a cat warms up to you they become your best friend. Sometimes it takes a while, you never know what their previous lives were like before adopting. My last little calico I had for almost a year before she started letting me pet her. Before she passed 15 years later she was sleeping on my pillow next to my head.🥰😻
@Lauren-bd2fr not sure if their voices depend on sex. I knew a cat who was a stray who got into many fights, and was as obviously male as you can get (big puffy cheeks). His meow was as high pitched and sweet as can be
"Gas pedalling" the old swing band members used to call it. It consisted of a deliberate hesitation on one part of a musical phrase, followed by a more hurried playing of the notes during the second part of that same phrase to catch up, and keep time with the rest of the band.

@@Siafk Ty, to go a bit deeper on the subject, egg laying actually a suicide mission for the female jigger flea. She burrows into the hosts skin head first leaving the caudal tip of its abdomen visible through an orifice in a skin lesion. This orifice allows the flea to breathe, defecate & expel her eggs all the while feeding on the host’s blood. She secrets an enzyme that breaks down the surrounding skin tissue to accommodate her growing abdomen full of fertilized eggs. Once she expels her eggs she dies and her remains decay adding to the tissue reducing enzymes. This leaves permanent scarring and craters in the skin where the flea once occupied.
I love it when videos have so many comments in different languages, it reminds me we are all human. And in in this case it reminds me that we all love cats 😂😂
I almost shed a tear at the beauty of the cat's voice, pure, emotive catharsis that just expresses all the lyrics exactly like they're meant to be sung, this cat needs to win a world record and tell all its friends. such a beautiful song with no bias whatsoever to this being a cat. Purrfessional singer, first of its kind!
This really touched my heart. The lyrics are so powerful and they really speak to me. The part where kitty said “meow” really made me feel some emotions I can’t really describe in other words than “beautiful and powerful”. Thank you for this masterpiece!
I completely agree. This song has a timeless feel to it, and the lyrics - my God! Here I thought Eminem had the market cornered on amazing diction until I heard Badu start to sing. I hope they tour one day. I'll walk to the closest show clear across Canada if I have to just to see Badu perform live!! Thank God ALL Catnip is legal in the True North; I'll bring enough for all the Cool Cats 😎🐈😻❤😆
I always wonder where people are looking, to only be finding bad music. If you're listening to pop stations on the radio you're gonna be hearing sterile pop music, maybe try expanding your horizon? The amount of boring pop music and popular ""mumble rap"" is outweighed by the crazy amount of music coming out these days.
Wow. This is a lot of comments on what I expected was to be considered an ironic comment. I'm sorry for upsetting so many with my obviously non-witty humor.
I love that it's NOT one of those videos where the person is doing something to the cat (hurting, annoying, ..... etc) just out of eye shot of camera. They get a bunch of hits and it encourages them to do more videos. This guy is very good with his cat and the cat looks happy and healthy.
But they are. Can’t you hear the terror in the poor kitty’s cries? The fear in its pleading eyes as it begs for them to stop snapping like a mad man and give them food and pets? 😢

Usualy it's because it's natural for cats to stay away from other cats urine as it's making their territory so there could be a message in it for that particular cat to stay out. If they are all using the same litter tray or area, try having a separate place & tray for that cat.

@ Indeed he has. All we can do is feel for him and listen to his wonderful voice

The fact that the cat’s voice actually started in key as the 5th just makes this even better 😂
It would be awesome if the cat could reenact the Dave Chappelle skit where he plays the guy in court that keeps saying “FIFTH”.

This is a top shelf comment!😊
Bahhhhh 😂
...but when his woman strayed- the cat stayed.
meow
And then his wife took his truck, and gave him the clap after banging his best friend.
The fact the cat’s sitting on the amp the whole time… tuned in - switched on - laid back… a great muso’s pet -🐈⬛🤘😜👏😆
Trop mignon ,ce duo
Hey, the Cat is the lead singer, whereas the guy is just a well trained human attendant keepin the beat on a guitar. It's clear who the leader is.
That and the amp is probably nice and warm
Yes, like Jordan Rudess.
My cat used to do this all the time when I had a little 15 watt frontman amp when I was younger still living at home. I think she liked the vibrations mostly.
This is what I pay the internet bill for
Me too
Nice instrumental, and they have it going on! Kudos!
Yes

Mhmm
It's really the phrasing that makes for such a wonderful vocalist.
Artistic genius. That is not something where you can fake it til you make it.

The bowl is empty yet they insist its full

Cat been working the coal mine since kitten.
He's seen some things, man, and has to let it out. After the album I want the tour. And the merch should be off the charts.
