Surprise Fun
Cats always create fun surprises for the pet parents! Our Siamese cats loved to create their own tunes if the keyboard was available. Our oldest daughter played the sax and I thought it would be fun to have Little Honker's brothers put cat toys into the bell. Kris thinks it is amusing but Little Honker thinks they have ruined the music. After Kris explains to him that all creatures are not the same and have individual talents, he seems to appreciate the idea of differences. He is, after all, unique in his own way.
Book Excerpt
Little Honker's Winter Concert
Chapter Two: No Musical Moves
While Warren enjoyed the music played by his girls, his brothers and sisters did not feel the same way.
When the piano keys were available, his brothers only wanted to walk across the keyboard. They made lots of noise and no rhythm.
Kris’s saxophone was an invitation for them to stick their paws inside the bell of the instrument when it was out of the case. Also, if the instrument was not being played and out of the case, they often put cat toys inside the bell. Balls, catnip mice, and feathered toys found a new home inside the bell of the saxophone. This always provided a surprise for Kris.
Unaware of their mischief, Kris would pick up her saxophone to play and toys came flying out of the bell. Kris turned to Warren and said, “Your brothers are a little bit naughty, but they are still pretty cute.”
Warren did not share Kris’s view. He always honked his displeasure to his brothers. “Don’t ruin the music.”
