Stupid Cat!

I have a cat that would lick the strings on any guitar laying around. He'll also lick the blinds, the air vents along with himself. I've had 3 other cats and they didn't do that.

 

Two words: animal magnetism.

 

delicious bass?

 

Are they Fish-man pickups ?

 

Licking is better than peeing .

 

I have a fact for you, better than an idea: Cats are born with short circuits and some burnt fuses in their brains.

One does not simply question why a cat does something it does. They just do, they're crazy. I believe them to be almost crazier than woman.

 

Now you know how!


Does it lick the plastic cover? My cat has licked plastic bags all of it's life. I guess it likes the taste. It has a thyroid disorder, maybe that has something to do with it?

 

been there, done that. Had one of my cats pee on my 6 string a few months ago, it was in my living room on a stand. Luckily it's just a $50 Epi LP, and it came off, no smell or anything.

 

And female cats are the craziest! My two females are moody, violent without warning, and will lie there with you and cuddle, but when you go to pet them they attack without provocation. My male, on the other hand, is sweet, friendly, purrs whenever you touch him, and is constantly on my lap. Plus he sleeps on my daughters bed and keeps the other cats off; he's her guard cat.

No offense to the ladies here, of course!!

 

My grandma has a female cat, she is 5+ kilograms. (Jabba the Cat.) She comes to you, purring and waiting to be pet. The moment you touch her, you need stitches. B**** is crazy.

Also she plays fetch like a dog which I've never seen before in a cat.

And of course, no offense to ladies also.

 

My cat plays catch with me(yes she throws things back)
likes having her tail pulled
and chatters like a monkey( apparently the chatter is a Bengal thing, it's not really meowing,she's 1/2 Bengal 1/2 stray) its really weird.


I'm pretty sure they all have psychedelics naturally in their bloodstream.

 

Don't play your bass after eating tuna fish sandwiches!

 

My cats odd. She'll rub her face against the strings if its in the stand. I remember one day while fixing up my basses, it was lying on the table and I found her trying to eat the tuning keys. She also plays with loose strings.

She wags her tail and come when you call her.

 

Are you trying to understand why a cat does what it does? Good luck with that.

 

My guess is that it is salt from your fingers on the strings/pickups. Maybe try wiping your bass down after use and see if that helps...Maybe the cat won't be as interested.

Any cat though that enjoys the bass though is cool with me.

 

I don't know how logical it is to try to find a reason to what a cat does is but this could be it.

I've seen different cats licking people's finger on several occasions.

 

I had a cat that liked to lick your sweaty feet. they love the salt but BLECCHH!!

One of my females also plays fetch. Weird as we don't have a dog for her to learn that from.

I forgot- my male cat is also self-cleaning... if he pukes he eats it all up immediately
