My newly adopted kitten loves J.S. Bach

Arioso (aka “Ari”) arrived here in his new home just a week ago. He was a shelter cat who found his way to PetSmart in Pinole CA. Since there was a local shortage of possibilities, I ventured to a kitten event about 26 miles away, and found myself second in line to choose among 4 kitties.

This little fellow was hiding in the showcase, while a more rambunctious feline was leaping around and slapping the other kittens. Ari appeared shier than the others, but that temperament seemed a good fit for my lifestyle of piano practicing and long distance Online teaching.

Here he’s surfacing for a short time at PetSmart, winning my instant attention.

Once Ari was brought home, he took to the piano bench after many training routines and lots of patience. (In truth, he’s been a handful during his kitten hood, rampaging the place, with intermittent time-outs)

At long last, here’s Ari making his way to my lap while I practiced, J.S. Bach Little Prelude in E minor, BWV 941. He’s surely on his way to becoming a partner in our musical journey.

Purrrrrr……
