Sometimes, you have to give credit where it's due. My cat, Collette, scratched her claws on a book cover repeatedly yesterday. I was exasperated with her over this but also impressed; while the Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Unsquare Dance" played, Collette sharpened her claws on the beat for several measures. Considering the tune is in 7/4 time, that's an achievement. I admonished her for destroying the book cover--but congratulated her for having such a great sense of rhythm.
