I do not sing to my cats. But I do sing along with iTunes when I am happy (folk song type stuff, mostly) and they like that a lot.
My sister sings to her cats. And dances with them. She reports that they are quite tolerant.

Jaz will sometimes react to bird noises on tv.

My songs usually sound something like musicals or Neil Innes's work for children. I have also used the Choccy song as a base for a song about Charlie's love-ability.
