This is a song by Ruth (Monty’s Mom): Gabriel the Cat’s Song. Ruth has been very sweet to me in writing and singing a song about Gabriel, my semi-feral (now more domesticated) kitten who I am fostering but will adopt. It brought a tear to my eye because when we adopt a cat it changes our lives and the life of the cat. We are their world. There is a big responsibility.
If you don’t know Ruth’s abilities, she has a nice singing voice and she likes to compose. This is her little song about Gabriel:
I hope the audio plays for you. An audio player should present itself and just click on the start button at the left. If the player is not there please tell me in a comment.
Quite a long time ago Ruth composed a song about Simon, the brave ship’s cat who won the Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent of the human Victoria Cross (VC).
There is a religious context. Gabriel is a Hebrew name meaning (according to Wikipedia) “Able-bodied one of God” or “messenger of God”.
I believe I am correct in saying that Ruth is a religious person. I am not. Perhaps Gabriel will help me find my God.
Thanks Ahsan! I just saw this– I’ve been busy. I sent it to Michael because I’d thought of it and thought he might like it. I didn’t know he was going to put it on the site.
