Recording on a primitive four-track, over the next two years the Cat's Miaow issued a series of cassettes on the small Aussie label Toytown, including Little Baby Sour Puss, Pet Sounds, the excellent From My Window and How Did Everything Get So Fucked Up?; finally, in 1996 the U.S. label Bus Stop issued A Kiss and a Cuddle, a compilation of the cassettes' best tracks. Songs for Girls to Sing -- another collection of EPs, live tracks and unissued material including "Shoot the Moon," taken from a split single with Stereolab -- followed in 1997.
After a handful of ambient-influenced recordings issued under the name Hydroplane, in 1999 the Cat's Miaow returned with The Long Goodbye, their entry in Darla Records' continuing "Bliss Out" series.

The Cat's Miaow Lyrics
Skipping stones across the water
Looking for a reflection
When you came to me like a dream
I still wondered why
The Southern lights
They light the sky and turn it into day
and nothing fazed you when I was around
When surveys are made of my heart
You know, you're the biggest part of me
Can we talk a while?
You know you make me smile
And I'll press this flower in the palm of your hand
To remind us of our day
The sun's going down, turning tide, ships about to sail
When surveys are made of my heart
You know, you're the biggest part of me
Looking for a reflection
When you came to me like a dream
I still wondered why
The Southern lights
They light the sky and turn it into day
and nothing fazed you when I was around
When surveys are made of my heart
Can we talk a while?
You know you make me smile
And I'll press this flower in the palm of your hand
To remind us of our day
The sun's going down, turning tide, ships about to sail
When surveys are made of my heart
You know, you're the biggest part of me
