Two Kitties Wrapped Into One
Little Honker is really a combination of two Siamese cats we had who loved to help our daughters practice the piano, flute, and sax. We discovered early on that they loved the sounds coming out of the instruments and even tried to create a duet on the piano. I just had to use that in this book. Using those kitties in Winter Concert caused me to remember all the fun we all had when the girls sat down to practice. Sometimes those songs had a few extra notes and we smiled and laughed at the fun these kitties created in our lives. Once I got moving on this story, I imagined what would happen if Little Honker played at a concert. He IS a cat after all, so anything could happen. And the kitty traits took over in certain places.
Book Excerpt
Little Honker's Winter Concert
“Don’t worry, Warren. Every cat is not the same. We all have different personalities and strengths. I think honking is your strength.” Eventually Warren’s honk did become a strength and he soon became known as Little Honker.
This unusual feline soon discovered he was different in another way. He loved music. When his human girls practiced the piano or saxophone, he moved his tail to the rhythm and even did a little kitty dance. Sometimes he even found himself doing a little twirl around the room.
When Kari, his human girl, sat down to practice the piano, she always warmed up by playing “Chop Sticks.” Warren sat next to her on the bench, his tail moving to the rhythm, and from time to time, his paw reached up to add a note or two to the tune.
