do cats like accordions?

[Frank Fusari]

This is not my submission to the February contest.

My own cat (now deceased) would if indoors come up to me, while I was playing and, with a concerned, earnest expression, would vocalise.
If outdoors, it would do the same thing outside by the window.?
Your cat may be more discerning than mine?

 

[Valski]

Animals can learn to like accordion. We had a lovebird years ago who absolutely adored my accordion. Our German Short-haired Pointer actually reacts to specific songs; strangely none of which are German. ?

They definitely like to sneak in an open accordion case....

 

[Ffingers]

I have two moggies - one vanishes at the first indication that I might start making unpleasant noises on the big black box, the other just sits there in total distain at my feeble efforts at extracting music from the thing.

 

[Waldo]

Cool Cats do.

 

[Siegmund]

I can't offer any input either direction on cats. But can confirm that 3 dogs have no particular reaction to my playing, not coming closer, not running away, not howling, just carrying on just as if I was, say, standing at the sink doing dishes.

Interestingly 2 of the 3 had a distinct aversion to my violin playing.

My cat tries to bite my head

My cat tends to do the same thing. When she's had enough of my practice sessions she'll open my armoire door and jump in for some peace and quiet.

She enjoys lounging in my accordion case though.

...certainly much more than many professional and amateur musicians playing other musical instruments.
