Amazingly, this one's not from Cute Overload. :) It's on a site for
the singer Willy Mason. He has a page of photos he took and this was the
first one. (I love musicians who love cats. :))

They are adorable! Thanks.
Best wishes,
Polonca and Soncek

Wonder if those beautiful kitties are still around - the date-stamp on that
pic is 8/16/93!!!

jXwXeXrXmXoXnXt...
Oh, I didn't even notice that! I loved the black kitty twisted all
backwards and upwards.

If you love musicians who love cats, you might want to check out folk
musician Cindy Mangsen's 2005 CD Cat Tales. It's a collection of songs
about cats, including a very funny song Cindy wrote called Rudy's Big
Adventure. Rudy is the cat who got his head stuck in a garbage disposal
(and lived to "meow" about it). I'm sure most of you have read the story
of Rudy. The cat on the CD cover is Cindy's cat Alice.

Cindy is married to folk musician/songwriter Steve Gillette.

You can listen to clips from the CD at

Oh, thank you!! That sounds great! Sounds like my kind of album.

I couldn't listen to the clips, though - the javascript kept giving
me "alerts" saying "rtsp is not a registered protocol". I've never seen
sound files with an .rm extension, could that be the problem?

William Hamblen...
.rm files are played by Real Player. A player is available
"meow" their songs?

jXwXeXrXmXoXnXt...
I used to have Real Player, but then a few years ago, my C drive
crashed. After replacing the drive, I went back to real.com to
download Real Player again, but I found that they had completely
redesigned the UI. I hated the new design, and I couldn't find a
way to get the old version back again, so I gave up on it. I now
either use iTunes, or more recently, I've been listening to
pandora.com, rather than choosing the songs myself. I really like
the element of surprise that comes with a "radio" station.


Valerie L Magee...
Uh, no, these are song written and sung by humans not kitties. One song,
written by Cheryl Wheeler, is called Meow. That's the closest it gets.


Full disclosure: I am their webmaster, and a lifelong cat lover too.
