1. The Cats was a rock band from Volendam, The Netherlands, together with BZN notable for the so-called Palingsound. The band consisted of singer-guitar players Cees Veerman (born 6-10-1943) and Piet Veerman (born 1-3-1943), Jaap Schilder on guitar and piano (born 9-1-1943), bassplayer Arnold Muhren (born 28-1-1944) and drummer Theo Klouwer (born 30-6-1947, died 8-2-2001).

At first The Cats were called The Blue Cats. Due to a loan by Jan Buys they could get started. The band had their greatest success between 1968 - 1972. They were popular in The Netherlands and in Germany.

In the '80's Piet Veerman left the group. He had a solo-hit with the song Sailing Home.

On March 23, 2006 The Cats were made part of the Order of Orange-Nassau. The same year the group made a final reunion to record a single.

The Cats are three Scottish guys who love to play good old-fashioned rock and roll. If it’s not Andy’s rocking vocals or big old bull bass that get you moving, it will be Fraz’s flying fingers on his Gretsch guitar, or Sandy’s pounding drums

We are THE CATS and we are three rockers that love to entertain anyone who dares to stand in our way. The name of the game is Rock n Roll done the old fashioned way (the way your papa told you about). Music is all about one thing and that is ENTERTAINMENT. When we are playing and we get somethin going with our audience there is nothin better and we've had no complaints so far. They just love the Pounding Drums, Flying Guitar, Bull Bass, and Rockin Vocals. We love all our fellow cats and kittens gettin down to our sounds. As Eddie Cochrane would say Cmon Everybody!
