When your cat laughs at you...

So I started singing lessons recently (I have always loved singing, and want to make the most of the gift I have) and there are several voice training exercises to do every day.

The strangest ones are the sighing, and the one called the siren (yes, it is exactly what you think it is).

The other day I was practising, and my cat came in and looked at me as if I was a piece of strange, mouldy, old cheese. I could swear she almost laughed, meowed at me, and stalked away.

The neighbour’s kids already think I am strange because I play the piano and saxophone from time to time, and I often see them gathering at the gate looking in pointing and laughing, but my cat is supposed to accept me and love me for who I am dammit. I mean, who feeds her after all?

I am not necessarily a wanna-be Diva, but when your cat laughs at you when you sing, it is very discouraging. Besides, the rules for practising specifically say we should practise in a place where we are not hindered by anything such as people who may laugh at us. I think I shall ask her to add cats, dogs, and children too.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh...

Cats know things we don't.

Think of it as revenge. In fact, you should sing in its ear when it is asleep.
