Bass Cat

[RoadRanger]

So, your cat probably just wants some attention or affection from you because your attention is focused elsewhere.

This particular cat ain't all that into attention and only gets in my way when I'm playing the bass. As I said I'm pretty sure she thinks it's purring at her LOL.

Play cat scratch fever or look what the cat dragged in....

My Pomerania's usually leave the room when I start practicing, even if I am using headphones. I think they are jealous of the attention l am giving my bass instead of them.

Cats Rule, Dogs drool

I did have a cat that liked to sit on the cab while I practiced, for some reason or other.

I've heard tell of women who like to sit on the subs during gigs .

I just have one question:
What's the best cat to have around for playing metal?

Give the cat a paper bag. Cats like bags because they like to hide.

My cats won't go near one - after the first time. Some arsehat I know thinks it's funny to sneak up on them when they crawl in and pick the bag up, close it off, and give it a bit of a shake .

This is why I play standing most of the time. But I gave my cat a job in cable management with this system. Though stepping on cables is no longer a problem, stepping on a cat has become an issue.

If she's not doing that she is usually leaned up against the speaker cab. I guess my playing is cat approved.

Cat seems to like most anything

I was going to say if it preferred jazz it might be a Hepcat.

If you guys (and gals) haven't noticed, since the animals were introduced, the following has been kept to... nil:

No snide, nor snarky remarks...

No, 'My bass is better than your bass...'

No, 'My amp blows yours out of the water...'

No complaints about how many gigs you have to get ready for...

Just... doggies... and kitties... with instruments... as it should be.

Cool story. My Stupid Kat hates guitars but tolerates the bass.

Side note: A friend of mine said to be very careful when tossing used strings. I guess the skin, sweat, and salt built up on them is irresistible to dogs and maybe cats.

True about the strings and cats. We had a cat that always wanted to chew on loose guitar strings. I think it was more the jangly sound it made than anything else. The thinner the string the better. We were always afraid she'd impale an eye or something on one when we were changing strings.

We're down to just dogs now that we stopped getting a new kitten the minute one of our older cats passed on. Things have gotten considerably easier for us since then.

Couldn't find the 'cats with basses' thread, so I'm putting this here >^..^<

 

[Matthijs]

Is this the resident cats and basses thread?

Just wanted to share: Zegveld prefers the comfortable classic body shape of the Jazz Bass.

Most likely, your cat wants to be part of the act.

Get your cat a banjo, he'll love it:

Peggy always shouts at me when I try to play....jelous and wants my undivided

We likely can use more cats.

This one

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

He's been gone for several years, but I had a cat who loved to relax in front of my amp when I practice.

This is Ryan, one of my fave friends and next door neighbor ... songwriter, guitarist, and gutteral growler from the band Addaurra. He's in the book holding his buddy 'Bill&Ted' (RIP ) Ryan also cuts my hair. Good dude >

This is Simon... he doesn't really care for my basses, nor their cases...

... but, he certainly does make a great Christmas ornament.
