We have a cat of unknown breed. Once in a while, the Missus will start humming a song, maybe even sing a verse or two. The cat hops onto her lap, does the kneeding action with her paws purring all the while.I get out my guitar and sing a song or two, and the cat ignores me. I get out my fife and the cat goes to hide somewhere. Same with my fiddling. I don't get no respect.
