Important decision about the future of my cat, please help!?
I will first give you a little background on my Russian Blue cat named Elwood so you can better assist me with this dilemma.
He is almost 9 years old (June 1st is his birthday, if you want to send him a present, he accepts cash, mice, and beef brisket if mailed with dry ice). He is all gray and is good friends with the neighbors cat Stalin. He enjoys porno, cheetos, high stakes gambling and is a general nuisance to my livlihood…but I love him.
In an effort to make him a well-rounded feline, about 4 years I bought him a guitar and he started taking lessons, which he took really well to and shortly after was performing in some local blues joints in the neighborhood to help support his drinking habit.
Here is the dilemma. In recent weeks, he has told me he is quitting guitar and wants to take up the accordion. The accordion???!!! WTF Elwood?? I mean, can I take this seriously? A cat can not play the accordion, right?? He keeps telling me it is to celebrate his Russian heritage, and to learn the instrument that his ancestors grew up on during harsh winters laying in rooms that were being heated by coal burning stoves, but I honestly think he is on drugs and has lost his mind.
Should I let Elwood play the accordion, or should I force him to stick with guitar?
Thanks in advance for your help, I really appreciate any advice!
Elwood finally discovered guitar strings are made of cat gut, eh?
And, I don’t mean to offend Elwood….but isn’t a Russian instrument a concertina, not an accordion?
Lawrence Welk played an accordion, I think. Well, if you live in an area with a large Polish population, he could be raking in the bucks. Dress him up in that furry hat and vest and give him long whiskers…oh wait, he’s already furry and has whiskers.
If you are wondering if he is on drugs….check out these folks. Perhaps this could give Elwood some inspiration. The tune I have selected for Elwood’s consideration is the theme from (a cool cat named) ‘Shaft.’ Fewer callouses on the paw pads, I would think.I
I have noted Elwood’s birthday in my Blackberry, and will be sure to down at least half a bottle of Stolie in his honor.

I am partial to the guitar but even the boss, Bruce Springsteen has an accordion in one of his songs (sandy). Ya gotta let them find out who they are by themselves. You have done all you could

Let Elwood be a cat. Let him play the accordion.

take him to rehab immediately!!

As long as Elwood pays for his own lessons you should let him do it. It’s probably just a passing phase anyway. Next month, it’ll be something else, like the banjo or flute.
PS-When does Jake get sprung?
