Cats are a popular theme in pop and rock music. Out of hundred of cat-related songs, many topped the charts and marked their territory in pop culture, a few even went to #1 on the Top-40 Charts. After sifting through the kitty litter of decades of music, we honed in on the best of the cat songs. These feline songs really purr with a nice set of headphones in hand.
