Audiophile pets and their names...

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.

Good Listening

A friend once had a pet snake named Reverb!

r_f_sayles, sorry for your old cats. I’d say that 19 and 18 years for cats is pretty impressive as they’ve probably lived happily listening to lots of music that affected their longevity.
My bird is fully flighted and took away outside once by mistake and in 3 days found barely live after cat or even worse -- raccoon attack. He was delivered near 90 miles away from my home to the bird rescue. After thorough ’repair’ by the vet that I would never forget, his vision on right eye is almost lost, but all other abilities to socialize and fly safely remaining unchanged. To cover his bills I sold my turntable (selling beloved turntable turned out to be a piece of cake compared to selling a friend!) I’ve always lived through the desire to have a bird you can talk with and he now talks nearly 6 phrases, 32 words and about 7 mimic sounds at his age of nearly 4 years old. Obviously he’ll learn more when he’ll grow older.
Most of music soothes him up, but with dynamic alternative or punk rock he’s trying singing and dancing:-)

Just a month ago, we got a kitten.  My wife chose the name Taylor, after one of my guitars.
