...our cats seem to dislike the sound of me playing piano. The truth is, I haven't been playing that much since the cats joined our household about two years ago, which has caused them to regard our piano as nothing more than a convenient place to lounge on.

But that's no excuse for hiding underneath the bed when I played "Walking in the Air" yesterday! I even played with the muffler pedal down for fear of disturbing the neighbours and embarrassing myself with my rather out-of-practice musical skills.

And to think that these are the kittens who grew up to the sound of Black Sabbath, Tarot et al. No appreciation for fine music whatsoever.
