Kittens, Cats, Music, and Play
Kittens are Forever, Forever, Forever
She’s always a kitten to me
Kittens are forever, forever, forever
They give you lasting pleasure, pleasure, pleasure— Lyrics by the author
The opening credits of Diamonds Are Forever, a James Bond film, feature Shirley Bassey singing the title song. The credit footage also shows diamonds, a blond-haired woman, and a white cat.
Ms. Bassey sings that diamonds are all she needs to please, stimulate, and tease her. She proclaims that they will never leave her, as a lover might.
In contrast to the materialistic lyrics in the song, my cat, Little Miss Muffin, brings me a different kind of pleasure. I crave her tender sweetness as she fills life with joy, love, and companionship.
Muffin is now 20 months old. By chronological feline standards, she is no longer a kitten but a full-grown and mature cat. Still, she is as gentle, playful, loving, silly, and cute as when she was six months old.
Look at the cats below. They are adult cats through and through. They may be beautiful…
