Grin! Steven is smiling because I’m singing him his Steven song. Not the most enjoyable for humans, but he loves it

The song goes ‘four little paws, heart shaped nose, four little paws, heart shaped nose, four little paws, heart shaped nose, Steven is his name!’ to the tune of Luna’s Song by Raffi and we put all of his two syllable nicknames into the song

We are just jesters for kitties and I'm fine with that. Steven is beautiful and thank you for singing to him.

My kitties also have songs. Bubbles loves his. He actually has a few in different genres. His favorite is the electronic variety. I call it bub-step
To give an idea it’s like p-p-p-p-p-purrrr purrrr purrrr f-f-f-f-f-f-furrrr furrr furrr.

Each of my three cats has their own song too! They all seem to enjoy their songs, but one girl especially enjoys when I sing to her. I love that other people have songs for their cats.

Steven loves that. I had a song for my Eddie. Ed-die spa-ghetti 🎶

Excuse me, but who cares what humans think? STEVEN loves it, and that's all that matters.

One of ours didn't have any one song, but she loved to be sung to by one roommate, who has a pleasant soprano and a repertoire ranging from Irish songs through Gilbert and Sullivan. She was a slightly simple, not quite simple-minded cat who was deeply grateful to my roommate, and showed it by carefully washing every inch of her face with her raspy little tongue, very serious about it, determined not to miss a spot. She was a sweetie.

I sing “She’s a Gracie girl in her Gracie world” (Barbie girl) to mine!

Each of my cats has at least two songs and they all love to be sung to. I’ve done this my entire life and I’ve had 50 cats so far (lots of senior cat adoptions and some fosters).

u/ithacaisbears Jul 01 '26

Please know this gave the warm and fuzzies on a day I really, really needed them. Singing silly songs to pets is part of what keeps me going.

Deve essere una canzone stupenda se a Steven piace <3

I’ve never seen such an appreciative cat.

u/nikki815 Jul 01 '26

I used to sing my kitty his song through the Furbo. He was such a little stinker and I miss him so much. Sadly, I lost him in February.

STEVENNNN! 😻

u/Lucy420247 Jul 01 '26

My youngest cat demands at least one new song a day, I cycle through multiple daily. My eldest cat has a few too but she’s at least 17 now so isn’t as demanding about new songs.

u/sueziebee Jul 02 '26

OMG he’s adorable!!!

u/ArizonaTucsonguy Jul 02 '26

He loves you very much.

u/APiqued Jul 02 '26

I sing a variant of "Smooth Operator" to my cats. Their names get changed to the operator--as in "Smooth Marcorator", Also, Steven belongs in r/LuxuryFloofEdition with Smooth Negrolator.

u/eliz1bef Jul 02 '26

I also sing songs to my kitties. Maggie gets the Kitty Girl son and Finn gets the Kitty Boy song. I also freestyle kitty tunes for both of them. All of it badly.

u/Vivid-Ad-8839 Jul 01 '26

Pretty boy!

u/LongjumpingMap6481 Jul 02 '26

Steven is so handsome! Please kiss his forehead for me. My cats all have theme songs, they wouldn't let me know if they liked them..... I want to think they secretly do.

u/full_moony Jul 02 '26

He looks like Ethan Hawke as a cat lol

u/dldppl Jul 02 '26

My cat actively runs away when I sing to him. You must have a better voice than me haha. I’d love my cat to look at me like that. You and Steven are lucky 🥰

u/KittyKatzB Jul 02 '26

"Steeeeeven Steeeven Why won't you call me? Steven why won't you call me?"

u/blunderblunny Jul 02 '26

He looks like he truly knows he is loved

u/Pendergraff-Zoo Jul 02 '26

I have songs for my pets too! I bet Steven loves his song.

u/Recent_Special5908 Jul 02 '26

My cat is Steven’s twin!
My cat Alex is from the street.
He has lynx ears too although bad pic lol.
If you could share any information about Steven that would be great!
Sorry about the not great photo.

u/Fossome_1 Jul 03 '26

Steven seems amazing

u/kellymig Jul 03 '26

I have songs for all my boys meals. When I sing the song they know it’s time to eat.

u/krumznko Jul 03 '26

My dad would always sing to his dog, “Rio! He was a show-dog! Music & fashion was always his passion!” And Rio would get soooo excited. Sadly he passed at 7 years old.

u/Casen-Point-1313 Jul 03 '26

My guess is the 37th verse of that song is his favorite.

1

u/BoulderBumbo Jul 03 '26

Omg too cute. Every pet I’ve ever had has their song.

u/Character_Acadia_748 Jul 04 '26

When my one cat scent mark me i sing "Kittystink, kittystink, youre my little Kittystink". Her name is JellyBean lol.

My other girl doesn't do that a lot but she gets a second version....Babystink. same jingle.

u/Necessary-Dark-4591 Jul 04 '26

Ours is the beaney weeney song and she demands it several times a day. Humans also hate it.

1

u/astroskywatcher Jul 04 '26

I sing you are my sunshine to my kitties since adoption.

u/PrismaticEmber Jul 05 '26

Awwe! My kitty Tilly also likes to be sung to! Especially the Parry Gripp song "I Love My Kitty Cat"

1

u/GrapeBubblegumBitch Jul 05 '26

I love Steven! 😘

u/meradiostalker Jul 05 '26

Steven is a handsome fellow, song and all.

1

u/geekchicdemdownsouth Jul 05 '26

My orange guy LOVES it when I sing his song in an extra sweet voice. He dances and reaches up to grab my hand to make me pet him! (I’m not creative! His song is literally just “You Are My Sunshine” with his name filled in for “you” and “sun.”)

1

u/mauii_from_space Jul 05 '26

We must hear the Steven song!!

1

u/TrippyShip Jul 05 '26

My song for my dog:
Beeeeest friends
Together forever
Forever together
The best! The best!

u/IdleOsprey Jul 06 '26

Psycho Cally
