Re: You Know You're A Bad Singer When.....

[ Edited ]

LOL. You may not necessrily be a bad singer, but there IS something about singing that cats react to. Most of the cats I have ever owned had a reaction. I use singing as a means to find them when they have disappeared somewhere in my house, or if I want them to stop doing something I don't want them doing. I have some go to songs that I sing at the top of my lungs, and they come running. It's as if they will do anything to get me to stop. Perhaps it's because I sing those songs very loudly. I am a good singer and was in All City Chorus, church choir and high school glee club in my younger days. I just think they are not amused by singing. Of course it could be my choice of songs: What's New Pussycat; Sunny Side of the Street; Take Me Out To the Ballgame; Somebody To Love. They are all showstoppers to my cats.

Funny you mention this.

On another thread earlier in the week, I commented that I was singing along to "It's a Jungle Out There" while watching Monk.

 

 

One cat gave me the stink eye, the other laid his ears back like he was going to rip my throat out!   LOL

 

You would think a cat would get It's a Jungle out There, right?

@Plaid Pants2  LOL, I was going to end your sentence exactly the same way you did!  The only difference is that when I sing, my cat "Al" comes running to me from the other room, looks me in the eye, and gives me a whiney meeoooooww.  I think he thinks I'm not feeling well!  Cat LOL

My Doxie seems to enjoy it when I play the keyboard and sometimes sing.  He will lie on the bed and listen and sometimes go to sleep. 

 

He actually 'asks' to go in the extra room where a bed and my keyboard are.  He will go lie down with his nose at the edge of the bed near the keyboard and he expects me to play!  Weird?

@Plaid Pants2 LOL

 

Freyja was looking at me as she sat in the window while I was singing at my desk. Although it could have been the type of music I was listening to.

As long as Mr Jax continues to serenade us in the middle of the night, my cats can keep their opinion  of my singing to themselves.

Re: You Know You're A Bad Singer When.....

I know i am a bad singer when (I was about 4-5 yrs old) i would stand in the cull de sac where I was growing up and sing away outside. The neighbors would come out and tell me to "shut up".

 

The next time was at the church I was attending the organist that use to sit in front of church off to side told me to quit singing I was lousy and throwing off his playing.

 

the last time was a few years ago dh and i got into town acting at the locat theater. He got the lead in the play and I was to play a by stander (I tried out for lady lead-but lost), and sing along with other by standers. I was told to keep my voice silent and mouth the singing words.

 

I still sing in church, if I am bad so be it. I enjoy to sing and always have
