Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2007Punk Kitten
Hi Everyone Last night we were sitting at home with Sarsi doing her dead cat impersonation on the sofa (Dunzi was asleep in the bedroom) when Dave put the Red Hot Chilly Peppers on the hi-fi Sarsi leapt straight up, galloped over my shoulder, shot up the curtains, shot down again, galloped the length of the flat several times, then jumped over the sofa and back up the curtains then dived off and bounced off my head turned in mid air and shot back up the curtains then bounced off my head again, did a circular gallop around the flat avoiding landing on the floor as much as possible then hurled herself into the bath and out again (No water in it) and then twice round the flat As soon as Dave turned the music off she stopped in her tracks and got back on the sofa. Verily she is the Punk Kitten!

That might well be MY reaction, too - it doesn't necessarily signify approval, it probably hurt her ears! (I heartily HATE what passes for music, nowadays!) > Hi Everyone > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs That sounds like she had a cat fit. Must have struck a nerve.

Whoa! Those are the zoomies on steroids! Hmm. It seems like you need to do some experiments. Try it a few more times, on, then off, then on again, and see if it gets the same reaction. Play some other music and see if that gets a reaction. Cats do respond to different music differently. Roxy usually flounces out of the room when I play almost anything, and Smudge doesn't like my singing but will listen to other music. Joyce >Hmm. It seems like you need to do some experiments.

We've known for years that certain music gives her the zoomies, she likes Motorhead and the Sex Pistols as well, put those on and she starts running about, bouncing off things and chasing her tail As I say verily she is the punk kitten!

What would happen if you played Barry Manilow? :) Joyce >What would happen if you played Barry Manilow? :) Dave would leave home! (Don't tempt me- perhaps this is what I need to do to get him to go out? Unorthodox physiotherapy but it just might work) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Hi Everyone > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs that is too funny! I always say our Trill is a punk or maybe more a biker cat. I can just see him in a little black leather jacket -- lol. Maybe Sarai needs a Mohawk ;-) Ginger-lyn > Hi Everyone > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs What an image!

What a weird little kitty. :) Joyce On 26 May, 15:38, jXwXeXrXmXoX...@sonic.net wrote: > She's not just punk, she's a metal head! What a weird little kitty. :) Weird is the word. Last night she sat on Dave's lap for an hour (and she's not a lap kitty) watching something about Jimi Hendrix-Okay let's put the Motley Crue down as an aberration, everyone's got some record the love but are ashamed to admit it. Does anyone else have a cat who responds to music? Fugazi (RB) used to like Pink Floyd and if she was in the room when it was playing she'd change her position until she was in the perfect spot for the stereo. The winner was Bingo(RB), whenever Hugh played Steve Hillage, he'd sit on the right hand speaker and purr loudly as soon as Hugh put something else on, he'd jump off the speaker. Hugh used to be able to call him in with the call of "Bingo! Playing Hillage!" Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Does anyone else have a cat who responds to music?

Ketzl prefers string or piano music, preferably classical. He's a big fan of André Rieu, Perlman, Leif Ove Ansnes, Rachmaninoff (playing "Rachmaninoff") and YoYo Ma. But he does tolerate Enya. I have to close him in the bedroom when I'm blasting "Disraeli Gears", though.

Perhaps he'd like the stylings of Ms. Nora. :) Joyce > > On Sun, 27 May 2007 10:26:56 -0400, Lesley wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Joyce Although I myself have enjoyed the stylings of Ms. Nora many times, he doesn't seem to be interested. However, when I play any of the aforementioned music, he's quite content. SignatureJoey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh > Does anyone else have a cat who responds to music? Tabs (RB) used to hate me playing "Last Post" on my trumpet. No other tune seemed to bother him. SignatureMatSav |
