Beyond the adorable tunes that make your heart flutter, there are plenty of cat songs: ones from a cat’s point of view, songs wishing “I want to be a cat,” and moving tracks that mirror human emotions with feline traits.

In this article, we’ve picked out some especially recommended cat songs.

If you’re a cat lover who actually has a kitty, be sure to listen together and enjoy a happy time.

Become a cat.Sukima Suichi

Sukima Switch’s song “Neko ni Nare” (“Become a Cat”) is a track that turns the messy, brooding thoughts after fighting with a girlfriend into music.

Because he can’t bring himself to say what he wants to—things that verge on snark or complaints—the lyrics make you think, “Ah, this is how he truly feels.” I imagine many men feel this way after a fight with their partner.

And in the end, it’s a heartwarming love ballad.
