Now, his life is filled with light and laughter, and a companionship like no other. Initially he was wary of sharing his feline-filled world with others, but now he freely shares his tales of Little One, Mr Hank, Molly, Rusty, and Snaggly, and his fans love it.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brunk&#8217;s single, &#8216;Mostly I Love Cats&#8217;, is a real toe-tapper of a song, with his acoustic guitar playing an Americana-Calypso style. accompanying his gravelly vocals. In the song he writes about all the things that are most important to him &#8211; his family, the earth, the moon and the sun, food, his hamster, his dog &#8211; but most of all, he loves cats. His tongue-in-cheek humour is at its best in this love letter to that found family that turned his world upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the music video for &#8216;Mostly I Love Cats&#8217;, Brunk brings back the mannequins from &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2026\/02\/ron-brunk-is-a-real-person-in-a-world-that-is-increasingly-succumbing-to-technology\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2026\/02\/ron-brunk-is-a-real-person-in-a-world-that-is-increasingly-succumbing-to-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Real Person<\/a>&#8216;, as well as his furry friends. Donning a cat-ear beanie, leopard print gloves, and drawn on whiskers, Brunk perfectly illustrates someone who&#8217;s totally succumbed to the feline allure. Catchy and fun, &#8216;Mostly I Love Cats&#8217; is sure to appeal to everyone -whether you&#8217;re a cat lover or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for &#8216;Mostly I Love Cats&#8217; below, and find out more about Ron Brunk and his music online on his official&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ronbrunk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/RonBrunk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ronbrunkmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ronbrunkmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_28844\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/88jHDYQa9SU?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Ron Brunk - Mostly I Love Cats (Official Music Video) Performance\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/88jHDYQa9SU\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ron Brunk&#8217;s single, &#8216;Mostly I Love Cats&#8217;, is a real toe-tapper of a song, with his acoustic guitar accompanying his gravelly vocals.
