3-Year-Old Sings Sweet Rendition of 'You Are My Sunshine' to Pyjama-Clad Cat

A pyjama-clad cat in Illinois was lovingly serenaded by one of its tiny humans, footage posted to YouTube on September 13 shows.

The video, shot by Erin Merryn from Elgin, shows her three-year-old daughter Claire singing You Are My Sunshine to orange cat Carrot, who was decked out in a bonnet and sleeping suit.

Merryn told Storyful that the family has a “tradition of singing from one cat to the next”.

“I am sure she would have fallen asleep if the cat didn’t see baby Jack moving on the floor,” Merryn wrote in the YouTube caption. Credit: Erin Merryn via Storyful
