Here’s something:

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: The Cat Organ.

An unworthy, barbaric idea. But on the other hand, on the Web there are no Dog Organs that I can find, other than hearts and kidneys and stuff. I’m just sayin’.

what? a drawing?

Pink Floyd - Mademoiselle Nobs - Live Pompei

Dogs have long been a favourite subject of fine art, both musical and visual. There’s the great Dogs singing Christmas Carols albums, the famous dogs playing poker painting. That painting has further spawned the great textiles such as dogs playing poker rugs and wall hangings found only at small exclusive single picnic table rest-stops off the beaten path hanging on ropes tied from tree to tree.

The cats will not be outdone. They have inspired works of serious art, such as the Duetto buffo di due gatti by Rossini. And if cholesterol-laden classics aren’t good enough for ya, here’s a most tasteful figurine suitable for any - and I mean any - décor, the “Bubble Fairy Cat”:

Don’t bother rubbing your eyes; it’s real. A startling piece of genius, no?

Talk about genius:

Wow. That’s genuinely creepy. I like it.

…grateful ya didn’t go with the swine mask…

It even needs a toenail trim. That is seriously strange.

I took my wife to see the Broadway touring company’s performance of “Cats” this afternoon. In addition to being reminded in “Memories” of all the things that I used to be able to do but can’t do now, I did learn that “Cats are not dogs”. I already knew that, but it never hurts to be reminded of a basic reality.



What price for a little knowledge…

thar’s a man that’s never met a musical that he liked…

What can I say? Guilty as charged. But Cats is the nadir of them all.

It’s OK to dislike something that other people enjoy. However, the fact remains that “Cats” has been one of the longest running shows in Broadway’s history, winner of seven Tony awards including Best Musical. If that many people like it and see it again and again, it can’t be that bad.

Yeah, I know. On the one hand there’s that, and on the other, all the same it’s one of those things that makes me think that the world is entirely off its rocker. I think I’ve got some kind of allergic reaction. :wink:

I love “Cats,” of course like all musicals I like I prefer to sing the alternative lyrics versions. Unfortunately the alternative version of “Cats” is not suitable for the Pub. But take the great American War Musical “North Pacific” as an example with the wonderful song “Salmon Chanted Evening” that’s great stuff, operatic almost. The only song I haven’t changed is “Pore Jud Is Daid” from “Okla-humma” it’s perfect just the way it was written.
