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.

LOL. I've had a few interesting felines. Strays that popped in an out. Padua was a cat my ex gf got from someone at work. He didn't walk anywhere so much as groove along to his own internal soundtrack. We lived in the boonies in a small cabin, and he'd hunt, do cat stuff and as there were a lotta people he loved it. His people. He'd watch tv with us and follow conversations, looking one person to the next. One memorable evening he jumped at the couch, getting pets from the 3 or 4 of us sitting there, working his way down to me. He looked up at me and did a front flip onto my lap, sprawled out, as if to say, Cat belly is here! Rub it for good luck! Everyone cracked up, my ex said I was his fave human. Later I learned he would drink tea at a very low table we had. A roomie would make her tea, and Padua would wait till she had cream in it and she'd catch him drinking it. He would sit like a small dude at the table on his hind legs and actually pull the cup to him with his forepaws. He also knew somehow what reading was and the mechanics of it. He knew humans attention was on the page and if wanting attention would let you read a page or two fully, then headbutt a hand to say, OK, pet me. Ya finished reading that part! Eventually if not pet enough a paw would come over the top of the book to pull it down. He knew enough to know that when the page turned you were done with that page. He'd let you finish but ya hadda have at least one hand for petting the cat. After a bit the book may get knocked outta yer hand as well, his way of saying enough reading, moron! BOTH hands on the cat!

I'd love to have a cat that can use the toilet. Saves having to clean out the litter basket.

My old cat T.C. used to open my door, pee in the toilet and he loved Nacho cheese Doritos.
