Words of Wisdom and Inspiration from Pookie the Cat

Makin’ Music

Mwow all you music lovin’ kitties out there!  I have a new outlet for my musical muse!  I calls it the Butt Chime.  Let me tell you the story:  My staff recently remodeled the kitchen.  In doing so, they added some cupboards (and countertop!) that weren’t there before.  Now, you know I loves to prowl the countertops, but there’s more!  These new cupboards have some sort of a thingy that holds wineglasses upside down.  Right after they were installed and staff had placed the wineglasses in the holders, I was up there checkin’ things out.  Layin’ around I was, stretching out and getting comfortable in my new space.  No one discovered me and I got bored eventually, got up and stretched.  That’s when it happened!  My tail happened to swish just right and knocked one glass into another and that one into another, blah, blah, blah, and music happened!  Yup, I invented the Butt Chime!  I’s can play it all soft-like with a tail swish and I’s can play it loud for emphasis with my butt.  My musical masterpieces always catch the attention of my staff when they’re around–that’s how talented I am!  They cheer my name loudly as I play.  When they cheer like that, I like to give them an extra treat and end my concert with the loud percussion I’m able to create by leaping off the counter and landing as loudly as possible.  I then stroll casually to where they are, full of gracious humility.  Yes….I like to place a look on my face that says, “Me?  You’re cheering for little ole me?  Aww, I didn’t do anything special–I just don’t know what you’re talking about.”  I then conclude my performance by casually walking into another room….I don’t give encores on command.  Move over Bach, make way for Pook!

  1. Pookie you little turd. You stay off those counters and leave those glasses alone. We’re NOT cheering you, we’re yelling at you!

  2. Pookie — Staff seems to be getting out of hand. I wouldn’t allow them to yell at me like that, although I’m not sure I’d want to have a glass of wine at your house either, after you’ve had your tail in the glass… Bach my butt.

  3. Sunny–Staff is as always, well in hand. Letting them think they control me is but one way I control them. They are unable to ruffle the fur of someone of such an obviously higher intellect than they. Whatever. Oh, and the wineglasses? I tap them from the outside–I accidentally got my tail caught on the inside of one once, it ruined the tonal quality of my recital…and felt weird besides. And yes…Bach is no comparison to my musical genius…thank you for that validation! Bach would never dream of creating the amazing music I create with my butt.
