“Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?” ― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard

Located: the zone of purrrfection - Music for Cats

“A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.” - Ernest Hemingway, Source 

Maybe you saw the Music for Cats Kickstarter campaign and forgot to check back. Good news! The wait is over!

Echoing the Music for Cats accolades, a testimonial: "I work at an emergency veterinary hospital. Today we had a patient in incredible pain. He was on as much pain medication as we could give him, but he just couldn't get comfortable. I put on Rusty's Ballad for him on repeat, and he's currently sleeping. Thank you so much for what you've created!" — Karey Harris (Fort Worth, Texas)


Cats and their humans are chiming in on the finished product and it would appear they are unanimous in their praise. David Teie owns catnappers with his perfect recipe of kitty cat bliss vibes.

you must hold its paw in your hand for a long time

Review of the GMA CATS preview ... 5 6-toed Paws (Stellar)

WSJ - CATS - Blockbuster touring goals too good to be true? (Nah!) “We haven’t decided what the start date is, but it will definitely be touring the country again,” said Nick Scandalios, executive vice president of the Nederlander Organization, a co-producer. (Yipee!.. er, MEowww ... slow-mo head toss, licks paw and walks away in search of out-of-the-way sunny spot.)

  • As for not liking cats (pets) in general ... that's just fine but not so fast on the "signs your cat doesn't like you" ... Science says that's just "wrong" --
  • Pop/Sci link. Sorry, Cat haters. Cats do like their peeps - a lack of gushy affection, tail wagging and gravity defying cartwheels, fails to indicate otherwise.

Dog Sense  ... note -- this page has a few more bells and interactive whistles -- might note a "sense" of bias in this case. Then again, Cats are probably just fine with less fuss.
