This Orange Cat Knows Every Word to a Classic Song
In the TikTok from @_rrradk, an orange cat was snuggling with his mom when she asked, “You wanna sing?” He responded with some enthusiastic meows, clearly ready to perform.
His mom began singing the iconic Judy Garland ballad “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz. She started with just the first syllable of the opening word, and the musical kitty chimed in right on time with the second. When she got to “over the…” the orange cat perfectly sang “rainbow” and even broke up the two syllables. The harmonious duet continued throughout the entire song.
Followers Were Completely Blown Away by His Talent
Viewers of the video were charmed by the cat’s melodious meows and raved over his musical ability. “He knows EVERY WORD!! I love him sooo much,” one shared. Another asked, “Why isn’t he on a talent show?!”
Additionally, fans noticed the emotional depth of his performance. “I love how he squints his eyes like he’s singing his heart out,” a follower remarked. Someone else pointed out, “He’s not just singing — He is in the right tone!” Interestingly, this kitty appears to be quite chatty on a regular basis. Previous posts show him having everyday conversations with his mom as well as accompanying her in song.
Why Some Cats Are So Much More Vocal Than Others
Orange cats have earned a reputation for being particularly vocal and social. While there’s no scientific proof that coat colour affects personality, many ginger cat owners report their pets are exceptionally talkative and affectionate.
However, vocalisation varies greatly between individual cats regardless of colour. Breeds like Siamese and Oriental Shorthairs are known for being chatty, while others prefer silence. Cats often learn that meowing gets their human’s attention, so vocal behaviour can be reinforced over time. This singing cat has clearly discovered that performing earns him extra love and interaction.
How to Encourage Your Cat’s Vocal Side Safely
If your cat enjoys “talking,” you can encourage this behaviour through positive reinforcement. Respond to their meows with attention, treats, or play. Most importantly, pay attention to what your cat is trying to communicate, as excessive vocalisation can sometimes indicate stress, pain, or hyperthyroidism in older cats.
Singing or talking with your cat can actually strengthen your bond. Cats recognise their owner’s voice and often respond to specific tones. Fortunately, this orange cat’s duets with his mom are clearly a source of joy for both of them. Who knows? He may start getting offers for a record deal soon.
