Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005AARRRRGgggghhhh
Why does Pearl hate it when I sing and play guitar??? I am trying to write a song (and REALLY, I am not bad at all) and she just HATES it. She comes up on me and stares at me intensely and pulls at my had with her paw and bites at me. She seems extremely concerned. Even if I try to be really really quiet she still comes over and gets upset. It makes me crazy. AAAAAAaaaarrrrrgh. >Why does Pearl hate it when I sing and play guitar???

She seems extremely I'm so sorry karen, but that is just so funny. Pearl's a critic now. :-) LOL. I can just hear her. "I give this artist two snorts."

Why can't I make her understand???? I stand next to her and THINK it at her as hard as I can! But she must not hear me because she never uses my ideas!"

Electric guitars, especially if the amplifier is distorting (accidentally or intentionally), it can produce sounds that the cat can hear and people, especially those who have spent a lot of time exposed to very loud music (or noise), can't.

She comes up [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > can hear and people, especially those who have spent a lot of time > exposed to very loud music (or noise), can't. Nope, acoustic. and she doesn't much mind too much anymore when I play classical. She seems ultra concerned about any singing though. I guess she thinks I'm hurt or something. LOL! If it's any consolation, Misty(RB) used to get upset when I played violin. She HATED that thing. I didn't even have to actually play it for her to get agitated. All I had to do was pluck the open strings for her to take off running. Humans thought my playing was just fine, so I always presumed there were some tones emanating from the violin that are outside the range of human hearing. She didn't mind the guitar, or the recorder. But the violin? Fuhgeddaboutit. Donna, and Captain and Stanley who have not evolved into music critics yet. P.S. Melody and Harmony, both RB, didn't mind the violin. Of course, with musical names like theirs, one would think they would enjoy a bit of live music. :o) Its a well known fact that neither cats nor dogs like the music that is made from instruments such as harmonica's, or guitars ,violins we had a dog along time ago that used to lift up his head and howl whenever my Dad played his concertina, or we kids played Dads Harmonica, it seemed like he was singing to to the music, but never did it when anyone played the piano or sang, the Vet told us it was because those sort of instruments hurt their ears, the dog never confirmed this of course so we had to accept the Vets diagnosis, Jean.P. > LOL! > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > musical names like theirs, one would think they would enjoy a bit of live > music. :o) > Why does Pearl hate it when I sing and play guitar???

All I can say is that perhaps you sing like me, as Waffles is a bit the same as Pearl. Sigh... Cheers, helen s >Why does Pearl hate it when I sing and play guitar???

When I sing, Trill comes up to me and acts disturbed. On the other hand, when DH does it (he can't carry a tune in a bucket), it doesn't bother Trill. We have determined that Trill prefers off-key singing. Then we have Wolfie, who absolutely *adores* the sounds of bells. Whenever I play any music will bells in it, he will come around and stare at the speakers, getting his head nearly in front of one of them. And we had Geehsa (RB), who used to utterly nuts every time I used my penny whistle (or just whistled, for that mattter). She would come running at top speed from wherever she was. I honestly couldn't tell if she loved it or hated it. Cats are strange, indeed. Ginger-lyn Mischief just HAS to have attention if I'm singing. Now matter where I am, if I'm singing, she has to be there to get scritches. What a queen! Kristi >Mischief just HAS to have attention if I'm singing.

You either need to get a waterproof guitar and sing in the shower where she can't get you or get little kitty earmuffs. :o) Christine > Why does Pearl hate it when I sing and play guitar???

LOL Awww... this reminds me of Shadow. He reacted in the same way, whether I cried or I sang. Maybe she just thinks you're upset. ;) SignatureCheryl
