South FL Cats' Taste in Music

In a cleaning frenzy this stormy afternoon, we blasted not our usual
housecleaning "house" or "techno" music, but I reached deep into my hard
drive and played old purloined (yes! a tune pirate!) Napster goodies at top
volume.....all 3 of the short furry dictators fled under the beds upon
Robert Palmer's oldie, "Bad Case of Loving You"! The slaves added to their
indignities by collapsing in hysterical laughter, while 3 pairs of glowering
cat eyes were visible peering out from the bedskirts. Maria Callas' "Un Bel
Di" produced the same result
(at least the slavemasters can't say their hoomins lack musical diversity)!
Reflecting upon the sad story of Madam Butterfly was not condusive to
efficient housecleaning, however, and we considered Nine Inch Nails' "The
Fragile" to finish our tasks, but decided the poor felines would probably
have nervous breakdowns from that one.....sooooooooooo, thinking only that I
could "sing along" in Spanish to one of my fave oldies, punched in Richie
Valens
and "LaBamba"....all 3 cats emerged from their "cave" and settled on their
couch perches as usual, seeming to be actually soothed by my last choice in
tunes! Either we have Hispanic cats or they are R. Valens aficionados
(unlikely, no?) OR their sensitive little eardrums, attuned to high-pitched
sounds, were affronted by our early sound bytes for cleaning. I played
"LaBamba" again, and they are all actually asleep now near the speakers.
Cats are strange.
