about

Music recorded in December, 2014, vocals recorded in April, 2015, at Meowinrovia in Phoenix, AZ.

If I put out a release without a cat song, everyone would turn against me and they'd have every right to! Keep on meowin' in the free world, kitties!

lyrics

In this world full of pain, heartache, and woe, it’s cats who always break my heart the most. They’re not even trying but my tears they bring, just doing the things that come instinctively. Only a cat can break my heart! Only a cat can break my heart.

My friend in Chicago’s got a cat named Halloween. She’s got that tortitude but as pretty as can be. Was eight years before she’d finally let me pet. Gotta wait two more till I’ll see her again. Only a cat…

Out my window see those feral cats play, rolling in the dirt and roaming all day. They’ll stare at me till I open the can, yet scratch behind the ear is never how it ends. Only a cat…

Open my door and what a welcome meow! Stray kitty’s ready to cuddle now. I buy him treats and treat him like he’s mine, then he stops showing and I’ll never know why. Only a cat…

So go ahead, humans, hit me with your best! Delete me, deceive me, after time I’m over it. You can’t understand this life’s hardest part:
How cute little kitties will break my heart.
