Here's a very short bluegrass number about a man trying to tell a cat who's boss. I hope you enjoy it.

My DAW is Reaper and it provided some compression and reverb and stuff.

Assuming that the intention of this song is to create some levity , then I would say that you succeeded beyond all expectations (BTW that is a long winded compliment)

Hi Butterey,

very funny!!!

But you're on the wrong track: You may be LISTED as the owner of that place, but that's only the official version. A cat may - possibly, maybe, perhaps, under certain circumstances, on occasions, sometimes - grant you the right to share the same apartment, but that cat butt is the price you have to pay. If you still dont cooperate: They surely have more sophisticated means and ways to drive you nuts,...

Enjoyed it a lot !!!

Take care,

Stefan

Funny!
Good performance on the vocals too.
The band's a little too quiet but I get the decision.
There's some de-essing that would be done if it were mine as sibilant sounds send me insane.
Reaper will allow you to do that VERY easily.

Agree with rayc on production issues...but I’m glad I listened in...15 minutes after my feline friend did this exact thing to me! Well said, although falls on deaf ears, I’m told. Fun and enjoyable work!

Hahaha. Well done, Buttrey! Our granddaughter, who just turned 6, loves it, too! She thought you were Keller Williams. Love it. She KNOWS this song was written about our cat.

Thanks for the tips and the nice words. My "production" style is hit-and-miss, mostly miss, but I'll get better, maybe. Thanks.

Loved It!
Needed a good chuckle this morning.

Fun song, fun lyrics, well produced and performed.
Nice job on the vocals!

Buttrey,
Don't get a puppy. Cats are the best! Funny, good spirited tune. Liked it! Listens very well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Very funny stuff. Good bluegrass job.

Yep.... that's why I have dogs. They come with their own peculiarities.... like licking their butts and then coming to lick you.... but I'll take a dog any day. Besides that, I'm allergic to cats. Yep seriously allergic. And yeah, a dog will show you his hinter parts too.

Hahahahahhahaaaaa! Very enjoyable and the reason to get a dog.

As an owner of two very unique cats (one that requires a sweater to stay warm, and one that demands constant attention), I definitely appreciate the fun nature of this song! Thanks for sharing.

Ha! Clever and funny lyrics, with which every cat owner will surely be able to identify.
Regards,
Leon

Buttrey,

As an owner of two cats, I can totally relate to this. And having had to work from home these last few months, with the kitties jumping up on the desk and walking back and forth across my lap top, so true! A funny, clever tune, well executed and sung. The band could probably come up a bit more in the mix, but otherwise nicely done!

Best regards,

Deej
