So My Cat Digs Metallica
Thursday, October 21, 2021 at 04:44PM
I was minding my own business, reading a book and listening to classical music when my husband blew through the bedroom door and said "Alexa, play heavy metal!" I rolled my eyes when Imagine Dragons came on. Soon enough, Metallica and "Enter Sandman" was playing and in popped Roosevelt, the cat.
He searched all around the room until he zeroed in on the source of the music: my little white Echo Dot. I couldn't tell if he liked the music or not, but as James Hetfield kept singing, Roosevelt planted his butt right on the Echo Dot and patiently listened until "Enter Sandman" was done. Next up was Godsmack, so he took off and I switched back to classical.
So do I have a metal cat? I think so, but perhaps a very discerning one. I mean, how could he be anything else? He hangs out with me when I listen to Aerosmith and Motley Crue, too. I bet he'd hiss if Staind popped up on a playlist.

Now, try to wean him off the 'Tallica stuff (Bob Rock: "He's the one that made 'Tallica sound real good, he's the one that make then sound alright!!!") and see if he enjoys anything off of Puppets. Then, slowly introduce Ride. Your cat will thank you. But, if Roosevelt is being evasive (cats seem to like that), or even petulant (same), then put on Lulu. Problem solved. Roosevelt will learn to obey those who scoop the food and also the . . . well, you get my point.
Godsmack?!?! I bet your cat could take Sully in a fight!!! Even that Furbie on Sixx's head went 1-1 in a series of fights that were hosted on Triller.
But be careful: not sure many cats can stand the thrashingly good songs of Tygers, Tank, and Angel Witch. And please keep the darn thing away from 'Tallica covers of NWOBHM bands. Wait. Scratch that. Every song played gets the original band a few doubloons. So, by all means, crank up the covers!!!
p.s. Glad to learn some of our Glam Metal Heroes who are actually doing just that every night on stage, are among us!
