Cats talking . . . and listening
Color Addict - who definitely is a major and serious cat devotee - displayed this conversation between two cats today.  Which is well complemented by the all-cat version here.  And which suggets that cats can talk perfectly clearly, it's just that we misguided humans don't always understand very well.

As follow-up, watch this one to see what another cat thinks of the first conversation.  It's all the funnier since many cats don't seem to be able to see tv but this one clearly does and clearly likes what (s)he sees.

Passing it on
Passing it on from D.S. and with thanks also to Rene's Apple whence it originated: Sergei Nakariakov, playing Bach's "Air on the G String", on fluegelhorn.



One of my favorite pieces and so beautifully played. Have a wonderful day.

Update. Here's a 7+ minute clip of him playing part one of Mozart's KV495 for horn and orchestra. It's as mellow as the Bach but longer. And it's astonishing to hear a flugglehorn so beautiful, for those of us who remember it from jokes more than beauty.
