Cat Wants In Again, The

Slide · 12/8 · A major

The traditional Irish slide "The Cat Wants In Again" is associated with the Sliabh Luachra musical tradition in the south of Ireland, though its exact composer and precise historical origins remain unrecorded. It is set in 12/8 meter and A major, featuring the characteristic bouncy, driving rhythm and buoyant phrasing typical of the slide genre. Due to the lack of early manuscript evidence or specific historical anecdotes, the tune is best defined by its lively regional style and enduring popularity among fiddle and accordion players.
