Local Cat Files Royalty Claim Over Club Hit ‘Meow,’ Demands 50% Writer Share
The cat, who contributed one syllable and a nap, has retained counsel.
BRADENTON, Fla. — A local house cat has filed a formal royalty claim against producer Vladimir Tokarev, alleging that his dance single “Meow” could not exist without her “signature vocal.”
The claim, submitted on a napkin and partially chewed, requests a 50% songwriter share, lifetime access to the warm spot on the studio keyboard, and a credit reading “featuring The Cat.”
“She contributed one syllable,” Tokarev told Pulseblend Times. “To be fair, it is the hook.”
Industry analysts say the dispute could set a precedent. “If cats can claim writer credit, every song with a ‘meow’ in it is now a co-write,” said one analyst, who then left to update a very large spreadsheet.
“The track is a techno banger. My client is a lifestyle.”
At press time the cat had knocked the claim off the table and denied ever filing it.
