"Songs About My Cats" is a 2001 glitchcore album by Venetian Snares. It is also his first solo album on the Planet Mu label (Making Orange Things, released barely one month prior to "Songs About My Cats" on Planet Mu, was a collaboration with Speedranch).

Embedded within the last track, "Look", are several pictures of Aaron's cats. The images can be viewed directly with a spectrum analyzer; a capture of the embedded images is viewable online [http://www.bastwood.com/aphex.php here] .

Venetian Snares' songs typically use a 7/4 time signature, however none of the tracks on this album do. The sixth track on the CD release, "Breakfast Time for Baboons", is in 10/4 along with "Pouncelciot". "Nepetalactone" is in 9/4 (4/4 + 5/4) and "Fluff Master" is in 11/4.

The album features influence from many separate styles. The most prominent influence is ambient music, however, certain songs also show influence from jazz music and even influence from classical music and salsa music appear on the album.
