“Cat's in the Cradle” is about a father who is too busy to be with his son. Then after his son grows up, his son is too busy to be with him. As the song notes: “My boy was just like me.” The song made me think of my relationship with my own father. He's often busy with work because he wants to take care of me. I love my father very much, but I wish we had more time together. The song made me want to work harder to find chances to be with my father.
