Daryl,
Very clever song, it wasn't until the bridge I realized you were singing about a cat:) Very enjoyable listen.
Regards

I have never heard a song of affection dedicated to a cat. Creative, quirky, fun, and well done --- what could be better. I love the sound of the vocals (a bit Beatles-esque) and your delivery of some fun lyrics was very nice indeed!
There is a lot of "sound space" or sparseness in this number but to me that is perfect given the gentle nature of the song.
Great stuff Daryl!
Thanks a lot Freddy. I'm glad you liked it.

I agree with Beags...highs are a bit "harsh"...
but the song is BRILLIANT!
Thanks so much my mate. I will sort out those pesky harsh bits soon.

Excellent stuff Daryl, fine piece of songwriting. Like a (and I mean this in a good way) modern day Gilbert O'Sullivan in it's quirky wistfulness.
Thanks a lot James. I have always had an admiration for Gilbert O'Sullivan so I really appreciate the comparison mate.

Great... now for the rest of the day I'll be walking around singing "Aaaa bi gail" in my head. Mix-wise I'll also chime in re: the vocals, but you've already got that covered. Otherwise it's got the Daryl stamp of approval with just the right place for everything and everything in its place. And finally... it's yet another slice of pure pop perfection. Only this time in the form of a catnip treat.

Great job. The song idea was also very nice and it was sung well and the words were easily understood making it nice to listen. Other performances were also very good. You got talent!
Thanks a lot Kakku.

Hey Daryl - nice one!
overall this seems like it's got to much "sparkle" - the high end is pretty crispy and almost harsh on me ol' dog ears.
other than that - really nice stuff........for a CAT SONG! 
yep, I hear it too - I will go back and de-sparkle. Thanks for the listen mate
What's wrong with cats?

Cute. Pet songs are always cute. I gotta write one for my Pood, Ginger. It also reminds me of "Martha My Dear". Love, love, love the cute "meow" in the middle of it. Adorable! I'm sure Abigail loves it too.

Cool sparse track and lyrics with a terrific and surprising twist (no one saw that coming) made this a winner for me. Nice work, Daryl.

I really like your music, Daryl. No Elizabeth on this? Oh no,,,, still the current Mrs.Daryl1968 , right? I think your song sounds great. Wait, is she doing BGV? You know there isn't anyone I know of doing music with the sound you have. It's like retro new wave or something. I sure can't explain it but I sure like it!

My thoughts as well. Freakin' loved this...and meant to comment on it a few days ago and got a call in the middle. Hook is so infectious...mix is great. Modulation at 3:07 made me smile. Beatles influences in the positives here...awesome! Like others have mentioned, vocals just need some body. A bit high endy. Great song!

Took me right back to when I were a lad with my ear glued to my record player listening to John and Paul. Just lovely. Great, great production and clever, heart tugging lyrics. A real gem. Just about perfect.
(and having ol Abbie herself at the end there was a cherry on top!!)
PS: loved the organ thingy in the chorus.
