The last couple of comments notwithstanding, I suggest that anyone who still holds the misguided view that Cat Stevens had anything to do with this song should take a look at the comments posted on the page for Harry Chapin Cats in the cradle. There you will find the views of people who know what they are talking about.
I also suggest that the people who administer this site remove this misleading page. It only seems to stir a lot of resentment and anger which would irk Mr Chapin if he was still with us and would surely annoy Mr Stevens.
Give credit where it's due, this is Harry Chapins song and should not be on Cat Stevens page.

I cherrish the late 60's and 70's. I went to both of these performers concerts on more that one occassion. I do know two things 1)Harry wrote and sang "Cat's in the Cradle" and 2) He is turning in his grave listening to the annomosity being spilled over such a simple mistake. Take a chill pill!-GQ
You Guys All Need to Chill | Reviewer: William | 6/25/11
It's about the lyrics, and great lyrics they are! I am 61 and I know exactly what the song is about. A word of advice to you younger folks: Chill, watch the language, and take plenty of time with your children while they are young; you will regret it if you don't but will be greatly enriched if you do. Take it from someone who knows.

No one cares if you smoke dope or not, it's the dumb ppl that can't afford their pot, like gas stealing teenagers, who are unemployed in their very late teens or unmotivated unemployed dickheads! Otherwise smoke up and don't steal from your nice neighbors and friends for your pot. So just party on, like I said nobody cares what you smoke or how much as long as you can afford it!!!!!

Wow, such big words you use. You know they say that people who must use foul language in a conversation are only showing their lack of intelligence, and are insecure about themselves. So I'm guessing that you must belive that everything you see on the internet must be a fact, because when i did my search it came up with Harry Chapin, Cat Stevens, Ugly Kid Joe,Guns n Roses and Bon Jovi.
The dumb can be taught ,but there is no cure for stupid. And really, who are you to judge anyone?
By the way retarded means slow,dumb means that you dont know any better, and stupid means that you know better but you don't care.
Maybe you need to relax a bit, take alook in a mirror and judge yourself as you do others,and see what improvements you can make.

Cat Stevens or Harry Chapin | Reviewer: Kyle Faber | 4/11/10
My wife claims that Cat Stevens recorded this, the tune was in my head this morning and I beleive Harry Chapin, like riding in his taxi when he's stoned. My wife claims that she has on the song on an old vinyl LP or cassette tape. She drove that Celica with the deck blaring.
Little boy blue landed on the moon | Reviewer: Paul | 3/19/10
Can any one produce a vcd or tape recording. Back some time in the late 1980's the song cats in the cradle played with the first moon landing by a little boy who did it for real with a customize jet back in 1958. The airforce wanted to give him credit for his fantastic true life tales.
I saw it about 4 times on tv and pass out with a repress memory. Some political freak black out the nation not to reveal it. I would like to have a copy of the video to play on youtube.

to be honest i thouhgt the song was called cats robbing cradles.i also vaguely recall it was performed by the great felix as he was crooning for his soon to be spouse of half his age.regardless i may be mistaken.that song will be forever in my mind and a reminder that sometimes its what we dont do that counts.
re: illegitmate child | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/27/09
I guess the song is all about a father who can provide everything to a son except a quality time with him... and a son who is becoming very much like his father... and the son who fathered a son and don't have time with him... and the story goes on and on...
illegitmate child | Reviewer: Bob | 11/24/09
Most song lyrics have different meanings to every person that listens to them. I am confused, about the song cats in the cradle. How many people are in the song, 2 father and son or 3 ? father,son and an illegitimate child (the land lords son), who is the cat in the cradle. Has any body else had this theory or am I dealing with my own insecurities ?
too much confussion | Reviewer: youngerone | 7/23/09
I think you are confused. You could not have heard Cat Stevens sing cats in the cradle at the Miami convention centre between 1970 to 1972. The song was written by Harry Chapin and his wife Sandy Chapin in 1974 two years after you claim to have heard it. I think you possibly heard Cat Stevens sing "Father and son" an equally wonderful song written by Cat.As it was over 35 years ago I would suggest your memory might be playing tricks. To all the other people who insist Cat Stevens sang this song I challenge you to tell me the name of any album you heard it on. Not just some vague description like "I haerd it at primary school", Give me the actual album. I guarantee you can't.
Live from the miami beach convention center(early 70's) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/9/09
Just recently I overheard some people at work talking about cats in the cradle song. I commented that I saw Cat Stevens perform it live at the miami beach convention center in the early 1970's. It was sometime between 1970-1972. I didn't realize that Harry chapin and/or his wife actually wrote the lyrics sung beautifully by the late Harry Chapin.It really was done beautifully by Mr.Chapin but from what I remember Cat Stevens version was also equally as beautiful and I did see him perform it live. Thankyou
