Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2007Making a kitty into a bagpipe
Like Betty used to, Dot begs to be held. When I put my hands under her arms, she raises her arms up high and goes limp. Superkitty! I pick her up and hold her soft body against my chest and kiss her on the cheek while giving her fingertrip scritches on her belly with one hand, and the base of her tail with the other. If you can picture this with her arms all splayed out and purring her loud purr, it looks and feels like I'm playing a kitty bagpipe. :) > Like Betty used to, Dot begs to be held.

I had the greatest image, with SOUND! That's funny, Tak. Dot is not a small cat. What musical instrument is Buster?

He's a very versatile musical instrument, and puts a lot of emotions into his happy trills, soulful wails, and pleading whines, and joyful warbles. > Like Betty used to, Dot begs to be held.

I say, "of her kind" because as you may recall (or not) I have believed for a long time that cats came here by accident from a faraway planet where everyone was their size there....but we are giants to them and relegated them here to pet status, which they have never recovered from and take every opportunity to display their cunning and intelligence to their captors (yeah, US). Like many hoomins I don't hav e much imagination, Tak, so how about concocting a video of what you describe here? I did so enjoy the one you posted many years ago of Betty playing with your voice talking to her.....and Happy Holidays from MileHigh...it WILL be a white one for sure out here (BIG WHOOP). > Like Betty used to, Dot begs to be held.

Every time they squeezed, the cat emitted a long meow, sort of drone-like? Was that Mark? Or Theresa? Maybe we have a bagpipe orchestra in the making.

Every time > they squeezed, the cat emitted a long meow, sort of drone-like? Was that > Mark? Or Theresa? Wait - I remembered where this came from! But it was *not* recent. It was only recent to me, because I was looking through old post archives the other day, searching for something else... and came across this post along the way: From: "TJ and The Flabulous Dust" <katREMOVEfeesh@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: CATamaran Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2001 01:29:09 GMT LOL! The other day I was carrying Dust around hiked up on my right shoulder, forearm below, supporting his massive girth, hand cupped on his side (for extra support), he puts his paws on my shoulder and stands tall with the back of his head against my ear. My mom said it looked like I was carrying bagpipes. So I gave him a little squeeze and he bleated out a note!!! Everytime I squeezed he bleated, not a meow but a bleat, like a dying cow. LOL.

I suspect that she was actually burping Dusty at the time the above happened. :) > > Like Betty used to, Dot begs to be held.
