You guys think your cats are critics, mine isn't even loyal! As soon as
I get my case out, she's off to another room (high notes really bug
her). However, often that other room is the living room, where her
"step-father" is playing thundering triple-forte timpani excerpts!! I
guess volume isn't really the issue...
