This album has been in the works for over five years. I have worked on it one week at a time each year. The title has evolved from "Pete Sounds" (abandoned after I read that Pete Wylie - a luminary in an early-80s Liverpudlian scene near and dear to my heart, no less - had the audacity to steal the title that I had copyrighted secretly in my head) to "Subanimal Sounds" to "The Eternal Meow," and finally, to "Kitty's First Words," where it rests today.
