Hi Sol!
Ha! I was initially anticipating ‘Nightstalker’ vibes. The music certainly conjured that up - using that motif on guitar, e-piano etc.
Here in my home city, there’s a curfew because the kill rate of native wildlife is huge, so it’s not your loved one you should worry about!
Good song!
Andrew

Andrew Glad you were surprised at the end. I like that song style because it's so simple yet effective ( I think).

Hi, Sol. The rattle of the collar at 2:36 had me laughing.  Cool write! This line: But when it gets this late... Background Vocals:Three O'clock...also cracked me up. Fun song!

I guessed it around line 5 or 6 - but that did not spoil the fun.
What a great song! Loved the concept. Lyrics, backing band, and sound fx mesh perfectly. And those ultra smooth vocals are the icing on the cake.
Well done.

Very clever Sol. Great groove and chord progression topped off with an outstanding vocal. Super lyrics!
I really enjoyed this and I'm glad that this wasn't a cat-astrofic adventure.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Glad you followed directions and didn't read the lyrics first. I debated even putting the lyrics on there because I thought some people might read them first and mess up the surprise. Anyway, glad you like the song. I had fun writing it.

How many times has quarter-to-three shown up in a Blues song? Excellent vocal and guitar, Sol. I followed your directions and was very glad I did. I caught on a little before the end, but what a great twist.

I enjoyed that, Sol, musically and mentally imagining my cat Tigerlily starring in the video. She's a house cat, though, so no city streetwalkin' for her. Very clever. Have you heard of Xylophone Cat ?

I really like the instrumentation, arrangement, mix and production, plus the vocals are great, but I was disappointed by the end lyrics as I think the strength of the earlier verses were let down by the girl being a cat.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Glad you liked the song and, it's interesting that you were disappointed at the ending. The thought that it be a real person to continue the song never occurred to me.... and now as I think about it, I'm wondering how I would have ended the song and what the story would have been. I guess I just liked the idea of an unexpected ending.
