Old Black Cat by Ian Anderson

[TheArmyofHades]

basically this wasnt created for a cat anderson made this song for a friend of his who died of cancer thats why it always touches me

[muskndusk]

I totally love cats and have experienced the pain of their loss many times. Black cats are the hardest to home, they get overlooked for cats with "prettier" markings. Same with black and white. So next time you visit your local rescue, don't overlook the black cats. "When the cat of the house is black, the lasses of lovers will have no lack." In the UK black cats traditionally bring good luck.

now thats the ian I love

[Noelegy]

Everyone who's ever lost a fur-friend knows this feeling. Ian states it so well. I loved his music even before I learned he loved cats; this is icing on the cake.

My dear black&white cat passed away yesterday night...

[YHaveUForsakenMe]

I lost my old black cat this morning and I can't stop crying. He's been my best friend since I was 3 and I'm 17 now....he was the best cat in the world. All he really wanted (besides food. lol) was to sit in my lap and have someone pet him....I'll always love him...always...

[Zladdey]

I've lost my black cat 7 months ago. R.I.P. Hermes.

I will love you forever.

I am no longer able to enjoy life as before

[Domigorgon]

I've lost my black cat 6 years ago, 2 weeks short of his 18th birthday but now I have a new black cat and she is now 3½ years old. So beautiful, aren't they?

Ian Anderson is a genius.

[LiberAnarchy]

Favorited. This song made me cry.

[WrathchildNH]

I have problems listening to Divinities still after 12 years because I had a 18 y/o cat slipping away during the times I played it a lot......I substituted her presence with a littler of 3 Maine Coon Cats that are now 12......but I could never replace her.

[drumcatf8]

hi rosiebeh7, so sorry to hear about your cat......im touched by your pain.....i love my cats too and all animals in general.......i,ll say a prayer for u and your cat....take care,frank

[rosiebeh7]

@drumcatf8 Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Take care.

[robertdakelman]

Good video with the fine music. I had a beloved black cat for nineteen years. Now we have one born without eyes. 

[rosiebeh7]

I've lost my black cat "Sheba" last night. She was attacked by two Rottweilers and killed. I can't stop crying, and this song made me cry even more, This is a special song, and my Sheba was special. I called her my "lucky" cat. She was a lap cat. She loved sitting on your lap and  loved to be petted. She purred, and she knew how much I loved her. She poured out affection to anyone who paid attention to her. My heart is broken. I'll miss her. She will never be forgotten.

[JnsLovesYou]

Eight lost lives was all he had.

Such a sad song.

[Marseglia12345]

[Dreamzville]

Wonderful! I lost my own "old black cat" just yesterday, and I am heartbroken. Her name was Shadow, she was 16 and the most beautiful, intelligent, affectionate cat I've ever had! This helps heal the pain...Thank You.

[siamkatze]

Thank you very much for the combining of your awsome pictures with the pleasing voice of Ian Anderson.

I enjoyed it very much as a cat-crazy fan of Jethro Tull....

[jmcquown]

Love the song. The paintings look like some my husband did in the late 60's.

[lienzosttirol]

Sad song about the death of his cat ... he wrote the song with tears in his eyes...

[ShilohofRowan]

Nice video, buddy! And finally, an internet community that i joined before you did. Didn't think that would ever happen. Are there any pictures of Shadow in there? I could'n tell. They all look like him though! (Imagine that!)

[TwistedBreathless]

No, sorry. They do look like him, though. ^^
