Mongo Santamaria. Mtume. Ricky Ricardo. Great conga players all. But they have nothing on the orange and white fur-face who resides at Casa Big Cat. Yes, the Nature Channel has turned Roo-face into a superb percussionist. How you ask? Well, yesterday I had the backdoor open, the birdfeeder full and the chairs set up so the boys could watch the show - but with one small variation - I slid the glass down over the screen door (to keep the heat in)Then the show started. We were hit by a flurry of finches, sparrows,
chickadees - there were birds all over. This was extreme provocation for Rufus who reacted by drumming on the glass in very impressive bursts. Rat tat tat tat tat. This caused the birds to fly around in a frenzy. And made him drum even more frantically on the window. He's really quite talented. I put a Santana album on so he would has even more inspiration and some accompaniment - but it just irritated him. He glanced over his shoulder and gave me a whithering look. "Very funny",his glare said. Well, I thought so, but that's what passes for humour at my house these days. xxx dad
