Sweet Meow

The Look

Tuesday’s Theme Music
Today’s music is feline inspired. I swear I could hear my cat singing this when I went through my morning rituals. As I went from room to room and activity to activity, he tagged along. Sometimes he would lean against my leg when I stopped, but he also sat on my foot, or stopped and peeked around the corner. When I moved, he moved, following me around.
Here it is, courtesy of Tucker’s inspiration, Little Peggy March (which I had to look up) with “I Will Follow Him” from 1963.
Mewsing
Mewsing (catfinition) – a meowing noise a cat makes to make others wonder what the cat is thinking; people’s pondering about why a cat is meowing.
