Just adopted two kittens, 2 1/2 months old Bankxie and Bibeane. The little ones are absolutely mesmerized by stereo imaging, my... have they got some maturing to do as listeners. Could not stand a house without feline roommates. We had lost Wheels (pictured in my avatar) 18 yrs., Isabelle 19 yrs., and her brother Zoe 18 yrs. all within about this last year. A tough year for rock stars and house cats in our world, RIP Bowie and all... They were all well mannered audiophile companions (no wire nibblers nor speaker grille territorial markers here!) and exceptional listeners. Wheels (who as legion has it, was rescued from an abandoned car (it is the motor city) was very fond of sleeping near the Atma-Sphere OTL amps on the floor while a listening session was in progress. Could you honestly blame him? Between the warmth and the rhythms, it was a perrrfect spot for an old cat to spend an afternoon with music loving company. My apologies, nothing obviously hobby related name wise with the exception that Bibeane started out as Julia, (McCartney's White Album song about a girl) but the name didn't pop, and she didn't seem to care to answer to it. The moment we tried out "Bibeane" her ears perked up. So it is, Julia Bibeane.
