Roger2611 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I decided to try my hand at playing the recorder many years back, I must admit I had learnt to play it at school so was not a total novice, anyway after a couple of minutes my cat jumped on the bed and bit me! She was never one for biting, a couple of weeks later I could see her lazing around up at the top of our close, so I picked up the recorder and started playing again, I watched her charge down from the top of the close, through the cat flap and straight into the bedroom, knowing what was likely to happen I had discarded the recorder on the bed, she jumped up and attacked it......it was confined to the loft the following day, she is long gone now but I have never played the recorder since!

SpondonBassed Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Okay Ambient. See what you've started now? We had a neutered female that behaved like a tom. She was sweet natured but quite dominant. She'd see off dogs and other larger cats if they were on her patch. The cute story? I got one of those chipped birthday cards once with the Stevie Wonder type "happy birthday" sample poorly digitised and full of aliasing. I opened it, it made noise then she woke promptly and began to stalk it. When I put it down for her to look at she prodded it and it opened just enough to start it making a noise. She immediately attacked it with her teeth! It was a determined attack on the bit of the card where the chip was concealed. I took it off her and kept it closed. She failed to kill the device inside the card but the puncture holes she made were all in a tight group where it was bonded in. I don't think anyone likes those cards really. I shall revisit this topic the next time I feel less fluffy and moist than required. Thanks for the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 [quote name='Monkey Steve' timestamp='1504797851' post='3367418'] my cat, Slaine, loves it when I play acoustic guitar. i have a photo somewhere of him as a kitten standing on the guitar picking at the strings. Does like the bass, if not as much as the acoustic, but loves it when i change the strings as that gives him something metal, shiny and dangling in front of him that clearly must be played with...... [/quote] Yes, my siamese cat, Nellie loves it when I change bass or guitar strings too - I suspect that many cat-owning BC members would confirm that their feline companion likes a nice shiny guitar string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Indeed but don't let your cat chew on any of your brand new nylon strings as it will result in a breakage under tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
