Please?

There’s a thread in Cafe Society about songs from the point of view of animals. There’s a wonderful song I’d like to submit, but I want it to be on YouTube so that folks can actually listen to it if they want (without having to go to the trouble of downloading an mp3). I don’t have enough pictures of my own cats to stretch through an entire song, so rather than scouring the web for random pictures of cats, I thought I’d ask you for some.

Here are [the lyrics](http://www.ecto.org/lyrics/warpaint/terra.html). If you have a picture that would go particularly well with some specific thing, please let me know! Otherwise general pictures will do. I’ll try to identify all the cats/Dopers so be sure to include the cat’s names. If you want to hear the song beforehand, it’s on [this page](http://rhodesongs.com/music/warpaint/index.html). Scroll in the player to “Terra Incognita.” (that opening is a reference to a cat toy with sparkly things inside that her cat adored)

Edit to add, I’m leaving to go see a couple of movies, so thanks in advance!

Can I give you my niece and nephew kitties? I took the pictures and have permission from the mother to share them:

The older gray cat in the first picture is Violet. The guys are my nephews Tycho (brown nose) and Spica (white nose). They are about 3 years old now. Lots more pix where these came from.

Thanks for the links, I have some Happy Rhodes cassettes but I rarely play them because cassettes are a hassle. Lots of stuff there I haven’t heard.

I’m lousy at tagging photobucket images with the image title instead of the link (if someone could help me out?) but here’s two links to my kitties…

The late, great, [Mocha](http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e130/theevilwriter/?action=view&current=P5070001.jpg). It’s been 4 years since he shuffled off the mortal coil, but I still miss my buddy.

Heh. He’s a total couch potato, hates to run around. As I type this he’s on his back next to me on the chaise, purring away. What a slacker. 🙂

To obtain cats, one must offer cheezburgers. Cats will clamor for them, and then you take their pictures.

Thanks to everyone, keep them coming! I’ve downloaded all the pictures linked so far in this thread (well, I’m still working on Nicest of the Damned’s nieces and nephews). I’m going to try and use as many as I can. I’m still thinking about how I will identify everyone, but I’m [saving them like this](http://wretchawry.com/kittielist.jpg) to make sure I know who’s who.

Ok, [this is Violet](http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m235/SpicaTycho/?action=view&current=violet-face.jpg), and [this](http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m235/SpicaTycho/?action=view&current=violet-3.jpg) too, right? [This is Spica](http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m235/SpicaTycho/?action=view&current=spica-3light.jpg), yeah? And [Tycho](http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m235/SpicaTycho/?action=view&current=tycho30.jpg).

[Who is this](http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m235/SpicaTycho/?action=view&current=tycho-5.jpg)? This is the same [cat](http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m235/SpicaTycho/?action=view&current=IMG_1017.jpg)? [These](http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m235/SpicaTycho/?action=view&current=IMG_1010.jpg)? Is that Spica on the bottom?

You’ve not only heard of her but actually own music by her?? Ok, you couldn’t have surprised me more if you tried. Thanks for mentioning that!

Edit to add, I may not get this done for several days but I’ll of course post when I do upload it.
