Andy surprises me sometimes. Who would expect him to be interested in ballet, for example to Stravinsky’s “Firebird”?
Our friend Dolly posted this video on her blog, along with the story of the Firebird. I suspect Andy’s interest was the movement and the high pitched “noises” in the music. Mozart supposedly hated flutes, but Andy love, love, loves them! I suppose music in the flute range sounds somewhat “birdy” to a kitty boy.
=(^+^)=
It’s been awhile since I recommended another blog, but Dolly’s blog is food for the body and soul! She never fails to entertain with interesting stories and delicious recipes. I heartily recommend you check her posts out!

It’s kind of strange, Kommando does not like any music, even “cat music.”
Andy’s late brother didn’t either.
If Andy likes that music then it must be good. Winks and purrs.
Doug, I am overwhelmed! This was so totally unexpected. I am honored, and I thank you for this lovely recommendation. I only hope to live up to this high billing.
I love the way Andy moves his tail in tact to the music.
The synchronized tail is a phenomenon long recognized. I’ve an early video showing it, too.
What a talented little kitty boy!
We had been away on Key Largo for a few days (no computers, for a change, only sun, sand, and ocean), so I will now start the catch-up process. I apologize in advance!
Sounds like a winning way to spend some time to me!
It was! This is the first time I stepped out of the house since March, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
I periodically have to get in my car and take little trips to nowhere just to handle the cabin fever. Fortunately, this end of Nebraska has some lovely scenery.
I know how that feels! I don’t think I have cabin fever, but I I miss the sun and the ocean. We Odessa natives cannot live without the sea.
It’s bluffs and mountains for me!
It’s whatever we grew up with that holds memories.
I believe so! I didn’t see an ocean until I was 21.
And I didn’t see anything but the sea and the steppes until about the same age.
I remember looking out over the Pacific Ocean from a place just south of the Oregon Border and being stunned by the magnitude of that body of water!
We can swap memories for memories; I remember marveling at Crimean mountains for the first time.
One of my favorite memories involve family trips to Denver, and the moment in the trip when what appeared to be clouds on the horizon turned into the Rocky Mountains! After hours on the Plains, it was a treat.
I can relate to that, Doug, but approaching my first view of the Crimean mountains for the sea. There we were, looking at “the bluest sea in the world” (that’s what we call the Black Sea in Odessa), and suddenly a huge silhouette of a bear drinking from the sea near Yalta harbor appeared on the horizon. It actually was the famous Bear Mountain.
Wow! What a treat that was!
As many times as I have gone back there afterwards, it was still a thrill.
Music by ” Relax my cat ” :

I’ll check it out! Thanks!
Andy’s asleep at the moment…! LOL! It is nice music for humans, too.
Cats do not sing but they are hearing! 🙂
In friendship

LOL! I’m sure Andy must sing in the countertenor range. I suspect he must be a fan of Philippe Jaroussky, or should be!
I like the tail swinging long with the music! 🙂
We are under a Level 1 fire evacuation order now. Level 1 is get ready, 2 is get set, and 3 is level immediately. The town just to the south of us is at level 2 as of last night. Packed and ready to go with kitties.
So much sadness these days. You, Rick, and the kitties be safe. Best wishes the fires don’t harm you property and all the work you two have put into it since moving there, too.

It would be interesting to have a chat with our kitties to find out what drives them, eh?!
Andy is a well-refined cat with class! 🥰😻
He always was the serious one of the kitty brothers. Dougy was more fun because he was more playful, but Andy is coming out of his shell now that he isn’t in competition with DOugy.
Sweet kitty, wish I could meet him! 😻
Though he doesn’t want to be held very long, he doesn’t claw or bite to get down. I try to respect his wishes to be let down, but these days, I feel more of a need to hug him and let him know he’s safe and wanted.
I understand him … I went to a ballett matinee as I was a teen… 4 hours yeah!!! it was for the men in thights LOL
Those people who go to live performances have to have excellent bladder control, for sure! LOL!
