My husband and I have been devoted cat lovers for years. Bastet, a charcoal tabby with white markings, born around Christmas, 1989, died on December 22, 2004. Not long after Taffy, an orange tabby, died at 19 1/2 in 2000, we adopted Cleopatra (Cleo), a black and white kitten, born on March 31, 2000, who will be 8 at the end of this month.
Cats and Music
All our former cats, Toffy (a devotee of Beethoven), Perveau, and Mint, and Taffy (a lover of Brahms and his friends), have been avid music lovers. Bastet was especially fond of opera, especially Wagner. Cleo is following in the cat steps of her music-loving predecessors and current feline companion.
