I was concerned as I started listening to last night's St. Louis Symphony Orchestra concert on KWMU. I thought, "Collette (my cat) might be startled by the percussion in Aaron Copland's 'Fanfare For The Common Man.' To a cat, it could resemble thunder, which Collette clearly doesn't like. This has happened before when I've listened to 'Liberty Fanfare' by John Williams."
I was relieved to see Collette roll around happily as "...Common Man" progressed. The timpani didn't rattle her at all; in fact, she showed me how at ease she was by biting my feet multiple times.
I was OK with that. I'd rather have a few cat bite marks on my feet instead of seeing Collette flash back to a darker time in her life when she must have endured storms outside.
