I heard flamenco/latin music in the womb... loved Dixie Jazz as a kid... discovered a VOICE in my teens: musical theatre then OPERA... THEN: car smash (wasn't driving)= injuries= can't do music?= back to first love... JAZZ! voice/clarinet/keys/more?
ALL-time favourite: my Pixel - abyssinian/tiger tabby mix, big ears, big eyes, BIG purr, lots of love. R.I.P. my sweetie.
2nd fav: Boofy (rileytiger) - tiger tabby Maine Coon maybe? orphaned at 3 weeks, foster-mum had a corgi so now he thinks he's a dog... can't go more than 1 hour without a pat.
3rd fav: Lily! (Lillipilli flower puss) - B&W moggy with a fair chunk of Siamese, has big ears & big eyes & a big purr. Comes up on hind legs to get a meerkat pat.
4th fav: Angie (Angelica/Frangipani flower puss) - gold & white girl, has a tiny suprasonic meow and purr but lots of love. And unfortunately, albino skin. And despite indoor/no windows living + feline sunblock, MANY sunspots on ears. She'll still be my girl even when she's earless though.
