about
Our family is bi-lingual with English as our first language and French 2nd.
I love to sing in both! This song is all about Mon Chat. I love my Cat!
Many years ago I adopted a very handsome tuxedo cat names Boots.
With his white paws and white chest, very chique looking fellow he was.
He loved it when I played piano and would come sit as close as possible without stopping me from playing, which was nice of him. I of course wrote him a bad ass blues song in celebration of his bad ass ness.
Years after his passing we adopted a new kitty and named him Minori, meaning fruitfulness in Japanese. Turns out he also has white boots and a white chest and is terribly handsome. My Quebequoi bff immediately said, you can call him what you want, I’m going to call him Minu, meaning kitty in French. Within a few weeks we gave in to her idea and he is now officially Minu, our kitty Cat.
This song is an ohm-age to the two of them, separate and together as feline members of our family. I love them both. I love my cat! J’adore mon chat.
