Cats and audiophiles


Are there any cat owners and audiophiles out there? Do your cats listen with you? I have four hyperactive bengals 2 males 1 year old and two females 18 weeks old. The males will listen to chamber music but not symphonic; all hate opera. None use the Avalons nor the Acoustats as scratching posts... lucky I guess. All four will sleep or listen on the sofa except the alpha male Crash (apropos). He will wander over to the Spectral DMA 180 and lay on it for warmth ( why I don't know because the room is warm enough). They will all leave disgusted if I attempt to put on rock or jazz. They will listen to Mozart all night long or until they are hungry, in which case they will "coo" (bengals coo--rarely meow) and do their love bites to let me know it is time for food.

I think cats and music go hand in hand, as they are both a source of introspection...
an audiophile spelling lesson: fazed vs. phased... Belongs posted with that other thread ["you know you're an audiophile when"] you confuse 'phased' with 'fazed'. Of course I meant the latter although I posted the former above.

Yes Albert: Roxi is an INDOOR squirrel; sounds just a little bit eccentric doesn't it? Yes she chews on the furniture, & everything else that she can sink her big rodent teeth into. The house is pretty well trashed; she once even got ahold of the edge on one of my speakers & took a small hunk out of it. Doorjams, cabinetry, furniture, paneling & trim have all suffered some abuse from time to time. But this has been going on for many years now; we started out with 'Rocky' rehabbing squirrels over ten years ago & this now is our sixth one. It's definitely a surreal experience.
Bob, its cool to see someone that doesnt get "phased" by the damage the squirrel does...as much I as I like my gear, I could never prioritize it over how I relate to my pets...good job with the rodent!
Three cats here, but ALL of them are on double secret probation right now due to some holes being put into a pair of grill covers for the Sonus Faber Electa Amator II's that I used to own.

Someday they might be allowed back into the listening room, but that bummed me out so badddddd.

My girlfrend's cat jumps up on the piano bench whenever she (or I) sit down to play the piano.
