The Warm Kitty Lullaby is such a soothing and comforting song, no wonder it’s such an old favourite!
The simple repetitive rhythm with it’s gentle melody centered on the SO-MI interval, is very easy to pick up and remember and surprisingly catchy! It’s one of those tunes you can’t stop humming!
Of course it’s more recent popularity is due to the reference in The Big Bang comedy series, but it was originally published in the 1930’s in ‘Songs For The Nursery School’, based on a poem by Edith Newlin.

Soft kitty, Warm kitty, little ball of fur,
Happy kitty, Sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr!

Circle Game Activity
- A lovely way to sing this song is for the kids to sit in a circle.
- Then all turn to face towards the left.
- Each child then strokes the back of the child next to them in time to the beat of the song.
- A simple, nurturing gesture that is very soothing, the perfect activity to calm things down when things get too roudy!
