Tuxedo Cat Sings

Love = Music + Cats!

About Me

Meow, friends! I am just learning how to do home recordings thus my initial efforts are sure to reflect that fact. I don't play an instrument either since fretting strings and covering finger holes while having paws and no opposable thumb is quite impossible. I also take frequent naps which, unfortunately, has a negative affect on my learning curve. I'm going to go ahead and put my yeowlings out here as they happen anyway and see what transpires as I (hopefully) improve.
Hope I don't get any virtual shoes thrown at me in the process! Support and/or constructive criticism are very welcome. :)
Love and mice,
Tuxedo Cat

Tuxedo Cat Sings! refrigerator door reminders...
* Always give generously. A small bird or rodent left on the bed tells them that you care.
* Climb your way to the top. That's why the drapes are there.
* Make your mark in the world. Or at least spray in each corner.
* Never sleep alone when you can sleep on someone's face.
* Variety is the spice of life. One day ignore people, the next day annoy them.

Tuxedo Cat's LAWS OF CAT PHYSICS:
Law of Cat Inertia A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force - such as the opening of a can.
Law of Cat Magnetism All black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.
Law of Cat Thermodynamics Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat.
Law of Cat Elongation A cat can make her body long enough to reach just about any counter table that has anything remotely interesting on it.
First Law of Energy Conservation Cats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will, therefore, use as little energy as possible.
Second Law of Energy Conservation Cats also know that energy can only be stored by frequent and extensive napping.
Law of Refrigerator Observation If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat.
Law of Bag / Box Occupancy All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat.
Law of Furniture Replacement A cat's desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture.
Law of Cat Disinterest A cat's interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to interest him.
Law of Pill Rejection Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape velocity.
Law of Cat Composition A cat is composed of “Matter” plus “Anti-Matter” plus “It Doesn't Matter”.
