Cat vs. Xylophone

One of our four cats really does NOT like the xylophone we picked up for our eleven month old daughter. Every time a note is played, she'll jump and twitch even while walking around. Apparently she blamed the rug in front of the door for making the noise...

Update: looks like a bunch of sites found this - Hi Neatorama! Also Japan and Denmark apparently. Huh. For those who have commented that this is cruel, please understand two things:
- This cat is quite probably mildly insane. We love her like all get out, but she's definitely not the smartest cat we've ever had.

- We're pretty sure she literally thought the rug was making noises and, after that day, she's never jumped because of it again.

do you know what breed she is very pretty

@avatrcrazy

We adopted her from a local shelter so we aren't positive on her origins. She's definitely part Siamese since she has huge blue eyes, trouble retracting her claws, (She frequently gets stuck to our couch after napping.) and goes completely crazy over nothing at all.

I don't know if that's actually a xylophone. A xylophone is a wooden istrument that has a real hollow sound to it if you strike it with hard mallets. I should know, I'm a percussionist.

@percussionist624 You are indeed right. It's a glockenspiel but I'm going to blame Fisher-Price for leading us astray.

Omfg if it was really SO BAD for it's ears it would have ran away in discomfort. It was obviously curious. -_- Goodness gracious I hate people who think everything is abuse. It's obviously in a nice house and it looks perfectly healthy. You overly sensitive buffoons.

That's funny! Hmm...maybe she would prefer the low, smooth sounds of a marimba? :)

@Mykirulz she is probably a ragdoll. She looks just like my cat.
