Dear Cat Lover,

Mew, mew! This is Tiziano. Torre is on Daddy's lap because Daddy got back from Oklahoma yesterday and looks all worn out. So Torre is taking advantage of the lap time. This means the computer is all mine. Prrr!

Course, Torre doesn't know how to use the computer anyway. That's why I write all the newsletters for him. I have the secret opposable thumb. Shh, don't tell anyone!

The other nice thing about having Daddy back is play time. Last month, he bought me this laser toy. We all love it. I love chasing this light as it zips around the room. Meoowm, off I go.

Boy, is it tough to catch though! Even when it sits still, and I pounce on it, it's gone like that! At first I was worried about my ability to catch things, then I saw Torre was having just as many problems.

"So many good songs it's hard to pick a favorite! Good humor and excellent music. "A Cat Named Rover" rates high. As a dyed in the fur cat lover and Celtic music fan, this album was irresistible! I am currently owned by 7.5 cats. (The half cat belongs to my neighbor, but she(the cat) visits a lot.) Cat #7 has her own apartment in my garage. She is not socialized, so the only way I can see her is with a network observation camera. Cats 1-6 live in my house. Thanks, Marc, for the perfect album for a Cat and Celtic fanatic."

WHISKERS IN THE JAR HERE IN JUNE
"Whiskers in the Jar: Irish Songs for Cat Lovers" is finished, and it sounds purrty. Daddy, Torre, and I are all so happy with the new album. Even though Torre keeps saying he didn't get to sing enough. Mew, mew, mew!

I gave the CD a thorough listening. It doesn't have my song on it "Tiziano Gunn", but I love "When the Dairy Farm Caught Fire" and "Big Strong Cat" and "Kitty Martin" and "Cuddles McGish". Oh! The songs are so much fun.

The CD is now up for adoption on our website. It is still at the printers, but if you adopt it now, you should have your autographed copy by mid-June. Otherwise, you might not be able to get a copy until July or August. If you haven't heard any of it, listen to our version of "Molly Malone... The Cat's Perspective/Planxty Hewlett". Download the MP3 here, and yes, share the song with your friends. If you can't wait "The Gift of Cat Love" three-song single is now on CD Baby.

Thank you for all your purrs and meows you sent our way in the making of this new CD. We hope you purr with it as much as we do.

STUFF ON MY CAT
Daddy got a cute email yesterday that someone who posted a picture of our "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" CD on Stuff On My Cat.

I must say, Kethry is a pretty patient cat. I don't think Torre or I would ever allow Daddy to put stuff on us, even If we were napping. Sure, we would be happy to lie on top of stuff for him.

I wonder. Is there are Stuff My Cat Is Lying On website?

Show #16 of the Cat Lovers Podcast went out last month. I hope to have Daddy record a new one soon. This show is very Shakespearean. Bet you didn't know cats were so into Shakespeare did you? Well, there's nothing like it went it is performed in it's original meowing, but the English version isn't too bad.

Mew!

To love is human. To purr is divine. Mreow!
-Tiziano Gunn, meower of The Dubliners' Tabby Cats

TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who plays music, writes poetry, and isn't too shabby a photographer. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.
