My Ragdoll Cat Adventures Part Three

13 September 2024 Blog Post 240 Piano 

The boys are all cowering around me at the moment as the piano tuner is here. He comes every six months to tune my piano. They all hate the piano! That is why I don’t play it very often. I am a bit out of practice so my playing is a bit rubbish but I would like to play it now and again! It’s funny watching their faces as they look a bit confused as to why there is this strange man in my music room (where two of their litter trays are) and why there is that horrible sound! I can’t even play piano music on my laptop as they get really stressed and start meowing at me. They also don’t like orchestral music. I really like cello music but they don’t like that! Tom especially gets very anxious if he hears piano or cello. The sacrifices I have to make for them! I managed to get all the housework done before the piano man turned up. I do feel a bit embarrassed there are two big litter trays in the room he is working in and the poopy bin (with the lid closed of course.) At least the boys hadn’t decided to do a massive poo right before he arrived! Leo did that once and I was hastily cleaning it up and apologising. He is a nice chap anyway, I don’t think he minds. I will always remember that the piano tuner came to tune my piano on the day I got Tom and Jack! They were just little babies then in a new place with a new person and then being exposed to a noisy piano. I think that is why they don’t like piano music as it was a bit traumatising for them! Well, I will play my piano from time to time even if they have to put their paws in their ears and run away, lol.
