Lee Chandler 12:22:46 PM
Calvin's voice just has that effect on cats.
deirdre dionysiac (1) (host) 12:23:35 PM
It is a bit reminiscent of that low warning cry that some cats make before a fight

Ossy 2:33:02 PM
This reminds me of that Disney TV 2006 or 2007 movie called Jump In, where they have a similar theme song called Jump To The Rhythm by Jordan Pruitt
deirdre dionysiac (1) (host) 2:36:38 PM
i can picture it in my mind but can hear no echoes of that song from memory
