Charming. However, I'll still eat you if you die.

-The cat probably

But only if you really mean it.

My old cat years ago lifted up his little paw... To grab my lip with his claw and split it open trying to pull my mouth shut.

You say that, but I just tried this with my 21 year old cat, Murphy, and he straight up scratched my face and now it won't stop bleeding. I have a job interview in 2 days and will probably look like I've been slashed.

This study has been peer reviewed (by me)

This works well with dogs, too. My little Monster (Monty is his Christian name, but he responds to Monty, Monster, Grumbles, and Little Boy) loves being sung to. He smashed his floppy, floppy ear against your face so you have to sing directly into it, and he howls when you get to a certain part of the song

I'd like to anecdotally corroborate (also in my home)

The few times I’ve tried singing to my cat, he walked away.

Amen to that 🙏🏼
