about

there aren't a lot of christmas songs about cats so i wrote one.

all download proceeds donated to the catcade in chicago, il, a 501c3 non-profit lounge/rescue run by people that pour their blood, sweat and tears into saving as many cats as humanly possible.

see their work on instagram @thecatcade

lyrics

put on your sweater as you start to loathe the weather
keep your paws by the fire and your tails wrapped up together
because you know deep in your heart christmas will be here soon

cat treats and milk ready for santa in a saucer
you don't have a credit card but you wish you could've bought her
as many toys as you know she's gonna buy for you

and they'll be full of catnip and you'll roll around with glee
tearing up the presents as you hunt under the tree
you'll sleep in the sunlight and only surface when you're hungry

and on christmas morning all the cats they will start swarming
they can smell tuna and salmon and soon they'll all be roaring
for bags of treats that they know you're hiding somewhere

cold noses and death stares come from every direction
but if you're a cat lover you get used to the rejection
that comes just about every single day
and you wouldn't have it any other way
