Again, with my eternal question: Why do ALL guitarists own/love cats?

This is one of the most AWESOME videos ever!

They might be smarter and more loyal, but cats always keep you grounded. You never know when they'll decide to take a swing at you. And should you NOT feed them to their satisfaction for a day or two, they have absolutely no problem giving you the boot (even after years of having them) and moving on to the next guy with better food supplies. Now there's a great pet for ya.

I stopped wearing belts nine years ago (after I scratched my Hohner's back a couple of weeks after having started playing guitar for the first time).

Tell me about it... I have a really hard time giving my guitar to any visiting guitarist friend of mine to try it out for a couple of minutes because I'm afraid he/she will inadvertently scratch it or bump it into something.

It also kills me when I see someone else totally not giving a crap about their guitar (practically carving into it or smashing it into furniture with no remorse whatsoever).

yeah, it's hard to find a slick, polite way to say no to friends. and it's a hassle to have to sit there and watch them with eagle eyes to make sure they don't do anything bad.

bumps and scratches from accidents are really lame and uncool. i think wear from normal use looks cool, like rasgueado and golpe marks. i dont know where scratches from buttons fit in though. carelessness or normal use?

HA! Good one!

And Anthony: Can't you take the jacket off when you play, and put it back on afterward? Or does it have soniquete stored inside it?

I actually have two, AND a dog... leftovers from my last relationship. I'm both a cat and dog person, but have to admit that I love cats. Of course my dog makes for great company for walks! Keeps me active.

Great video. I have 2 cats myself and a dog. I tend to be more on the cat side though.

Cheers, Todd. Ginna and I were admiring yours

Ours is a Bengal, like a tabby puppy cat on steroids! He plays football, runs and fetches - and talks all the time.
