Sure this little kitty is sitting there now while the sax is quietly perched in its stand, but what would the cat do if someone were to pick up the horn and blow into it? If that cat were anything like mine, it would be out of the room like a streak of lightning. Then the next time the sax was out and sitting quietly in its stand, I suspect my cat might try to retaliate in some way. 😈
I want to play~

…this is just my blog. My “real” website is www.bassic-sax.info. If you’re looking for sax info, you should check it out too.There’s lots there!
I don’t have any cats, but when my son plays his sax, our dog seems to think: “Hey, a member of my pack is howling! I think I’ll join in!” And so he does, and he appears to enjoy it greatly. He also likes to lie underneath the piano next to the soundboard while I am playing. Apparently, he is a musical dog!
None of my dogs have ever howled while I play, but one of my borzoi used to howl whenever the song New Attitude by Patti LaBelle came on. He’d sit in front of the stereo of howl perfectly in pitch with Patti LaBelle’s vocal wails. He knew the song so well that as soon as the intro riffs started, he’d run into the room. The breeder thought this was so funny that she recorded a video of it and sent it to LaBelle’s management company. Apparently they were not as amused as she was, since the breeder never heard back from either the management company, or Patti LaBelle herself.
After my dog passed away it took a long time before I could watch the video again. I had 3 borzoi all at the same time, and while only the male howled, the 2 bitches sat beside him as if they were an audience. When I later did watch the video, my remaining borzoi went to the TV, looked behind it, and finally sat down in front of it. It was rather moving moment as we all mourned the loss of our friend.
“I wonder if there’s catfood in the bell…”
A most excellent photograph!
If I were to offer a caption it would be:
“It’s only a matter of time…”
