Cindy Mangsen, a well known folk performer, released a CD with songs all about cats. Cindy is an internationally touring musician who performs solo, in a duet with her husband Steve Gillette (himself a highly respected and frequently covered songwriter), and in groups.
The CD, Cat Tales, was released late in 2005. It includes many cat song by other musicians, plus several that Cindy wrote including the hilarious Rudy's Great Adventure, a true story about the cat that got his head caught in a garbage disposal and lived to ... meow ... about it. The cat on the CD cover is Cindy's cat Alice.

The CD is available from Steve & Cindy's online store at:

I read about that poor cat who got his head stuck in a garbage disposal. That part is not funny, but all the people went through to get the cat out could wind up as a humourous recounting.

Oh! The lyrics are posted on that site:

I got a "page cannot be displayed" page when I clicked the links to hear the songs.

I hope you will stop by again and perhaps join in with our postings.

Lurking is fine.

The "page cannot be displayed" message comes when one clicks on a name of any of the songs, from that link you posted. Try it and see. I use Internet Explorer, if that may matter.

It's that usual page one often gets when a site is not available:

I run on Firefox and I cannot hear the songs either - I get a message that says:

"Firefox cannot open this address because it is not associated with any program" or something very similar..... I can't even copy and paste the message.

Oh well....

I do believe we do have RealPlayer on our computer.... I listen to other stuff sometimes. Hm.... I'll have to check it out tomorrow when I have more time... It's getting late for me now and dh will be home shortly. Thanks for the info - I'll work on it.

Ok, thanks.
