Album Notes

I LOVE CATS

No, really. I know. You're thinking, "Is this guy psycho? Or drunk? He rewrote a bunch of Irish songs with lyrics about cats? That's just crazy!"

I know, I know. They keep telling me that. And maybe I do love cats a bit much, but c'mon why not.

Imagine for a moment all of the crazy little things your cat does. Racing around your home. Climbing on door frames. Napping in the oddest positions. Snuzzling up to you. Waking you up in the morning. Begging for food. Having them rub their tail against your leg.

The list goes on and on. These are just a few of the many pleasures of owning a cat. All the beauty, the sweetness, and all the madness, that's what this album is all about.

I wanted to share my experience with one of life's most-amazing creatures. I wanted your mind to meld with mine, so you can experience my cats, and I can experience yours. This is just a small sample of the purr-fect world awaiting you when you purchase a copy of this album.

There are many more furry smiles to come. So curl up in a corner. Listen. Share the music with your friends. Then tell me the hypnotic story about how you were adopted by your cat(s).

Slainte! Mreow!

CATABLE QUOTES:

"Hi well I`m a cat lover and my friend Kristie just gave me a copy of the Cat Drinking Songs for cat lovers. And I loved it! I hope that you get a second album out because my cats Mr Tinkles, Tom,Rastis and Smokie like it too. Everytime I sing one of the songs well they start rubbing on me. I click to get my cats to come to me what do you do?"
- Courtney Foster, Penrith New South Wales

"Amanda is sure that they were drawn by the music and thinks you could be the Pied Piper of cats. We are both convinced that you have a hit with cats and cat lovers alike with this album. You have really captured the nature of the feline spirit with your lyrics and anyone who has ever loved a cat will feel a connection to this CD. Best of Luck!"
