    The Blues typically laments sad occurrences in relationships & in life. Never heard a Blues Song about somebody's cat dying.

        @neiltyson not about a cat dying; not love, heartbreak, loneliness, being broke. This is about REAL pain. http://bit.ly/10hyoYE

        @neiltyson Country Blues: an endless supply of songs about dog deaths, wife leaving, etc. But you're right; no cats.
