|  | Psst. It's "Squier" | | Join Date: Jan 2012 Location: Philly suburbs | | Was just laying around playing my roadworn 50's P and my cat Nutso decided she wanted to learn to play too. Pardon my childish giggle in the video. Hope this works: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...4B6F1B9152.mp4

My cats also seem to have a fascination with music. Trixie is a rescue from a local animal shelter and loves gear. It took her all of 5 seconds to end up in the cab after I took the lid off and turned my back. She's also always around "helping" when I rewire my pedalboard. The saying "music tames the savage beast" applies to Hogan, an "inheritance" after a series of musical roommates... whenever I start playing, he likes to find a perch and listen.

Little Dan's afraid of noisy guitars, but he's not afraid of dead presidents.

| Wow, I like the colors there! That's a really good picture, and what a cute cat.
There's no bass here, but I had to share this picture because it's so creepy. The cat thinks she's a people. Those aren't my dolls lol

Nutso got her name because she's nuts lol. The wall behind my amp is covered in carpet and she already figured out how to climb up it haha

The amp is a Vintage Reissue and it's actually currently experiencing some problems with one of the tube circuits. When it's healthy, it sounds monstrous.
