Kitty (song)

"Kitty" is a song by the American rock band Presidents of the United States of America, released in 1996 as the fourth single from their self-titled debut album. The song is characterized by its quirky lyrics, simple rock instrumentation (featuring "basitar" and "guitbass"), and Chris Ballew's distinctive vocal delivery.

The lyrics of "Kitty" tell the story of a person's conflicted feelings about a cat, seemingly torn between affection and annoyance. The narrator describes both the positive aspects of owning a cat, such as its cute appearance and purring, and the negative aspects, such as scratching and being a general nuisance. The song is known for its repetitive and catchy chorus, "Kitty, you're so pretty, you're so silly."

"Kitty" did not achieve the same level of commercial success as some of the band's other singles, such as "Lump" or "Peaches," but it remains a recognizable and popular song among fans of The Presidents of the United States of America. It is often included in their live performances. The song is also notable for its appearance in several films and television shows, further contributing to its cultural recognition.
