It's Summer and for this Kitty the Livin' is Easy!

Hi my furiends! The Summer Solstice officially arrived in the Eastern Time Zone at exactly 11:54 am !! Today will be the LONGEST day of 2019 for anyone living north of the equator.


It wouldn't be the first day of Summer without me repeating the song that I first posted on Cat Chat on June 21st 2010, (it was called "Cat Chat" back then), it has now become our little tradition...Enjoy!




This should be Meowed or sung to the tune of Mungo Jerry's classic "In The Summertime".......

"purr purr-purr uh, purr purr-purr, uh


purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh..."




"In the summertime when the weather is hot

You can stretch right out and be on your favorite cot,


When the weather's fine


You got playing, you got romping on your mind




Have some nip, have a climb



Go out and see what you can find"



"If her Daddy's rich, take her out for some filet,


If her Daddy's poor, just stay in and play,




Speed around the house,




really speed, really speeeed big time my friend,




When the sun goes down, you can make it




make it home before day's end"


"We're no threat, we kitties, we're not dirty, we're not mean


We love everybody, but we do as we please




When the weather's fine

We go fishing or go climbing up some trees



We're always happy




Life's for living, yeah that's our "felineosophy"


"Sing along with us, mew-mew-mew-mew-mew


purr-purr-purr-purr-purr yeah, we're hap-happy.......




mew-mew-mew-mew-mew...."




"Purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh




Purr purr-purr, uh, purr purr-purr, uh...."


"When the winter's here, yeah it's sleepy time


Bring a toy mouse




Wear your finest fur, it'll soon be summertime




And we'll sing again






We'll go jumpin' or maybe we'll settle down




If she's got "noms" or if she's got mice




Bring your kitty friends and we'll all go into town...."



Happy First Day Of Summer All!!

Make This A Great Summer For You And Your Favorite Felines!!



Thanks to Mungo Jerry's "In The Summertime" for the inspiration for this parody.

  5. MOL, MOL! Loved your meowsinging!
    And Hooray, the sun IS out here too! Maybe the soggy yard will get a bit drier so the peeps don't go squishy when they have to mow that mile high grass...

    Happy Summmertime!

    PS: We can't seem to get our comments to show up on Dakota's blog, nor any WP blogs for that matter...sigh...

    1. thank you!!!! I hope it dries for you too!! That is so strange about Dakota's blog, Terry (Brian's Home) mentioned the same thing. I have no clue why that is happening but you did make me feel better that it is happening to you on all WordPress blogs (I am not happy it's happening, but I am happy it isn't just Dakota's!). Wish I knew how to fix it! (if there is a fix).

  6. Happy first day of summer! With our cold spring and cool temps even now (for the most part), this will be the "hottest" thing of the season. :-P

  13. Happy Summer Solstice! Although I have to say, we're a little bit unhappy with it here - it RAINED (yes, in southern California!) this morning and it has been gray all day. Hmph.

  14. What a wonderful musical post for a perfect day. It's been into the 90's here regularly, and when it does rain it doesn't last or cool things down much. Have an awesome weekend!
