Cat ClawThe Kills

With its evocative title, “Cat Claw,” this track brims with dangerous allure from the American–British rock duo The Kills.

Alison Mosshart’s sultry vocals and Jamie Hince’s raw guitar weave a garage rock sound that seems to capture in music the cat’s mysterious, elusive essence.

Phenomenal CatThe Kinks

The Kinks – Phenomenal Cat (Official Audio)

This work, which depicts a fantastical tale of a cat that flies through the sky, is a song created in 1968 by the British rock band The Kinks.

Included on the album The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, it features a cat as the protagonist—one who, after traveling the world and discovering the secrets of life, settles into a lifestyle of endlessly eating atop a tree.

Alternating passages of Mellotron flute sounds and a processed cat voice—achieved by changing the recording speed—create a distinctive atmosphere reminiscent of a Victorian fairy tale.

It’s a recommended track for those weary of everyday life or looking to spark their imagination.
