The “man in the moon” is now viewed by pre-eminent Cat Stevens scholars as being a foreshadowing of his conversion to Islam. “Little Boy Blue” has been referred to as a reflection of his near maniacal obsession with the works of Dutch painters following the Reformation of the Catholic Church.
Personally, I think they’ve wasted years of their lives on this guy when everyone knows that song was written by Jim Croce.
Try looking up an old poem called The Owl and the Pussycat, It tells you and the cat ran away with the spoon. I don’t recall Cat Stevens singing Cat in the Cradle and I can’t remember the name of the person who did Sorry!
Oh please people!! not another Cat’s In The Cradle question!!
That song was written and sung by Harry Chapin, Cat Stevens has NOTHING to do WHATSOEVER with that song, Cat Stevens has never performed that song, not live, not in the studio, and not even privately.
The misconception began as a result of a mis-titled mp3 file on the sharing networks, and the name “Cat” in the singer’s name didn’t help either.
Cat Stevens is a legend who made classic albums which are considered to be as some of the defining and most critically acclaimed albums of the singer/songwriter genre ever made. Some of his best albums include: “Tea For The Tillerman”, “Teaser and The Firecat” and “Mona Bone Jakon”, amongst others.
Some of my favorite songs include:
Father and Son
Morning Has Broken
Moonshadow
Wild World
Oh Very Young
The First Cut Is The Deepest
How Can I Tell You?
Into White
Peace Train
Where Do The Children Play?
Sitting
Hard Headed Woman
The Wind
I could go on and on……
And to answer your question, Cat Stevens was a genius kind of cats.
he’s a COOOOOOOL Cat that drives that Peace Train as soon as Morning Has Broken and brings The Tea for the Tillerman just in time for Two Fine People (Father & Son) to enjoy the Moonshadow in this Wild World on Another Saturday Night.
Duhhhhh… he’s getting mooned by a man that wants to get together with a little boy.
A Silver spoon means your wealthy and he is a singing Cat just for the record.
a Kool cat.
It’s in the cradle because it’s a little baby kitty heroin addict
Cat Stevens is my father.
Edit: I think you should give Best Answer to Elvis Stevens. Clearly they are a person that cares.
He’s a very wealthy Cat.

A Persian Cat, of course
Cat Stevens is - what else? - a Guitar Tabby.
The silver spoon belongs to Harry Chapin, the real performer and writer of that song.
See why downloads are ridiculous? You can label them wrong and people will believe you. Totally undermines the credibility of the music industry..

Cat stevens is a romantic cat.
How can I tell you that I lovee you?
I love you….
I long to tell you that I’m always thinking of you
But I can’t think of right words to say…..
Cat Stevens didnt write or sing that song. It was Harry Chapin.
A musical cat.
