r_f_sayles, sorry for your old cats. I’d say that 19 and 18 years for cats is pretty impressive as they’ve probably lived happily listening to lots of music that affected their longevity.
My bird is fully flighted and took away outside once by mistake and in 3 days found barely live after cat or even worse -- raccoon attack. He was delivered near 90 miles away from my home to the bird rescue. After thorough ’repair’ by the vet that I would never forget, his vision on right eye is almost lost, but all other abilities to socialize and fly safely remaining unchanged. To cover his bills I sold my turntable (selling beloved turntable turned out to be a piece of cake compared to selling a friend!) I’ve always lived through the desire to have a bird you can talk with and he now talks nearly 6 phrases, 32 words and about 7 mimic sounds at his age of nearly 4 years old. Obviously he’ll learn more when he’ll grow older.
Most of music soothes him up, but with dynamic alternative or punk rock he’s trying singing and dancing:-)
