Four A.M.
Milo, I still wake up at four
No one’s walking on me anymore
I leave the door a little open
Like you might come through once more
A song for the cat you lost.
Tell us one little thing only they did. We write an original song with their name in it. Have a video of them? It ends with their real purr, so you can hear them again.

It starts with one sentence.
Not the last day. All the ordinary ones: where they slept, the windowsill, the sound at the door. You tell us, and those words become the song.
Milo’s person told us
“He walked on my chest at four in the morning because breakfast couldn’t wait. I still wake up at four.”
Four a.m., a paw on my face
You never once let me sleep late
Walking on my chest in the dark
Like breakfast couldn’t wait
And then
“His spot was the windowsill. Last week I caught myself opening a can for him.”
Your spot is on the windowsill
Still warm when the sun comes through
I caught myself at the kitchen counter
Opening a can for you
Milo is an example we wrote to show how it works. Your song is written from your memories.
The last thing you hear is them.
Send us a phone video or a voice memo, even a few seconds: a purr, a 4 a.m. complaint, paws on the stairs. When the song ends, after the last note, there they are. You can send it after you order, or not at all.
Had a silly song you sang to them? Tell us that too. It goes in.

For a friend who lost their cat.
Flowers last a week. A song with their cat’s name in it is something they keep, and play on the hard days. Don’t know their stories? Add their email and we’ll ask them gently, when they’re ready. Order by Dec 22 for Christmas.
Give a songQuestions
Who writes the song?
We write the lyrics from your memories and produce the music with AI-assisted studio tools. A person reads every order and listens to every song before it goes out. No two are the same.
What if I can’t remember much right now?
Their name and one small memory is enough. The questions are gentle and you can skip any of them.
Will you say their name right?
There’s a box for how to say it. Write it the way it sounds, like “Ah-LAY-na”, and that’s how it will be sung.
When should I give it?
Soon after, or on a day that’s hard: the first Christmas, a year since. Most people say not on their birthday.
What if it doesn’t feel right?
Reply to the delivery email. We rewrite it free, or give you every cent back, whichever you prefer, any time in 60 days. You keep the song either way.
What can I send for the purr?
Any phone video or voice memo, even a few seconds. A purr or a meow is perfect. Email it to us after you order. No recording? The song stands on its own.
Is it only for cats?
No. Dogs too, and any pet with a name and a story.
What if the email doesn’t arrive?
It comes from hello@happytailstudio.com with a link to their song page, so nothing depends on an attachment. Check spam or promotions, or write to us and we’ll resend it.
Is my information private?
Your words are used to write their song and nothing else. Email us any time and we delete them.
