Quoting FerralCat:
It's amazing how intelligent how animals can really be. Especially cats. People who aren't cat fans think that they're just lazy pieces of crap that spend all day eating and sleeping, but they're not.
I just discovered Nora the piano playing cat. It's quite fascinating how she developed the concept of playing piano from her owner (who's a piano teacher). Her owner would even play tunes on another piano (since Nora's quite territorial over her own piano) and Nora would play repeated notes in the same scale.
I was thinking "I wish I had a piano so that I could teach my cat", then I realised "That's right! I have a keyboard!". Duh, Sarah. Anyway, I remembered about that cheap keyboard that I bought a few months ago when I was going to produce a soundtrack for one of my Uni films. I'll place it on the floor and see how my cat goes. She wouldn't be interested though. She's 17, so all that she wants to do is spend the day sleeping in her little box or yowling because she wants something. She'll yowl and when I go to her, she'll run infront of the heater. Other times, she yowls just for attention or to wake me up (yeah, why bother buying an alarm clock when you can get an annoying cat?!).
But she is intelligent. She knows what "Sit", "Out", "Off", and "Kiss" mean. She knows her name aswell, but I take it that most pets do. But there was one time that she saved my life when I was 18. Bit of a story. I used to never let my cat sleep on my bed (because she snores and she hogs the bed), untill one day I had this dream that someone in 19th century Old English attire (who I presumed was my grandfather) said to me "A ghost is going to visit you". I was spooked out from that, so I let my cat sleep in my room. Two weeks later, I woke up at 5am with my cat howling and jumping on my bed, just going bizurk. When I woke up, my cat then ran to my bedroom door, looked back at me then continued howling. I smelled smoke then opened my door. The whole house was full of smoke. Turns out that the fridge caught on fire. Fuck, I'd hate to think what would happen if my cat didn't wake me, since my room is next to the kitchen.
I also used to have a cat that sat at the kitchen table like a human. He would have his back legs in the chair and his arms resting on the table. I also had a cat who had wet dreams. He'd be sleeping on the couch curled up like a normal cat. Then he'd roll over onto his back and have his arms spread out. He'd then poke out his tongue, start breathing really heavilly and become errect (trying to keep some level of decency here without talking about beastiality). He'd then come, wake up, look around the room like he was thinking "Oh shit, I hope no one saw that!", then run off. It was hillarious.
Anyway, I was looking for people who were interested in jamming with me and the answer was right under my nose: my cat.
