Gracie here. We had a lot of choir practice this week. Both Morgan and Gus have personal toys that they carry around. When they do, they sing. Loudly. Mostly at night. In the middle of it. The peeps aren’t fans.
Morgan has always had her square of fleece. It’s about a foot square. Originally, it was on the cat tree but she ripped it off so she could carry it around and sing nursery rhymes to it. Very weird cat.
When Gus joined us, he brought a few toys from the shelter. It’s different here. He doesn’t have to fight for them because we all can have as many as we want. He likes to carry them around in his mouth and scream. Loudly. Mostly at night. At 3 a.m. This week he was singing an aria from Verdi’s Rigoletto. Very moving. So moving the peep got up and took his toy away! At 3:05 a.m.!
Morgan was into Carmen. She does a nice job of it! We’re including clips so you can see for yourself.
They hope you appreciate their work. Have a great weekend. The peeps are going to catch up on their sleep!
I couldn’t help but chuckle as I read this post! Of course I could – they’re not my cats and it’s not happening in my house! Bless you for loving these furballs and putting up with their antics!

I always seem to have at least one night cat! Gracie on the other hand sleeps through the night. She will be sleeping in the same spot in the morning that she was when I went to bed.

Suki has a toy tiger she does this with, but she keeps her voice to a nice level. I guess your kitties are a little more passionate about it!

Especially Gus. Nice deep baritone that could wake the dead.

Thank heavens Teddy does NOT sing at night but he certainly does want attention. He visits me at least 4-5 times a night long enough to wake me up and get a quick back rub then he’s on his way while I struggle to get back to sleep. Then HE sleeps all day so he has the energy to drive me nuts at night. Something is WRONG with this picture!!!!!!
Hugs, Pam

Yes! During the day I will often pester them if they are sleeping so they know what it feels like. Doesn’t have any impact.

I can’t believe The Peep took Gus’s toy away. She must not appreciate fine art! 😀

At 3 a.m. she doesn’t appreciate anything but sleep.

My cats are quiet. The only one that has anything to say is Jack. He lets me know when it’s time for breakfast. Thankfully Sophie has finally learned to let him wake me up and has finally stopped scratching the box spring of my bed at six am which was more than annoying.

They sound adorable. I love it when cats carry toys and announce that they have them. My Emmy used to do that years ago.

Always during the night. Once in a while Gus will serenade when we are eating dinner but he has a 3 a.m. play time and he either does that or hops on the bed and humps my leg. Equally annoying.

Maggie liked to carry a blue and white striped plastic dumb bell around. It was a gift from my Mum, and on one occasion she took it into the car, walked it all the way round the park, along the beach. through the car park and back home before tucking it gently underneath her and falling asleep. It was her favourite Baby for years.

Awww…that warms my heart! Sasha and Gracie do not have anything. Both prefer catnip (the flakes) to any toy although Gracie used to enjoy a good go at the feather on a stick.

I remember the night a Baby fell off the bed and Maggie got very distressed as she couldn’t find it. We turned on the light and it had rolled under the bed. It was about 2am, and she made a thing of gathering all her babies under her before settling down again. Happy memories.

A fan of opera, especially Baroque and Classical, I’ d love a kitty serenade in operatic form! Mine just drags his tail across my face or pats my arm till he gets frustrated and puts some “Kitty Persuaders” (nails) into it.

Sasha will pat my face to wake me up. She’s not a singer.

We’ve always been a fan of Nessun Dorma and probably wouldn’t mind hearing it at 3:00 AM, then again…
How funny, though it sounds like the humor of the late night serenades is missing at that hour. The goosebumps probably disturbed your sleep. 😹

That was one of the ones I was contemplating. Sometimes I lay there and wonder what it is they are singing.

The view I have of the Lady Peep climbing? jumping? out of bed to take away a toy that Gus was singing to at three in the morning! Never boring at the Sassy Cat’s house!

🙂 🙂 🙂 You know her so well. She’s the only cat who does not have a personal toy. Or any toy at all. She screams for a pile of nip to roll in but that’s in the afternoon. Much more reasonable. So far I can’t tell what song she’s screaming!
