The minute Freddy Mercury sings, “Oooo, you make me live,” my cat knows exactly what is going on.
Moving quickly before he can skitter away, I scoop him up onto my shoulder. He emits an anguished wail. Then the drums kick in and we dance, dance, dance.
I am singing at the top of my lungs when he begins to purr. I know he is faking. It is a purr that says, “I am pretending to enjoy this - put me down.” He can’t trick me.
Both other cats are in the room. In unison, they both emit unhappy yowls that are akin to a crying child. If my neighbors heard them over Queen, they would call child protective service.
I imagine them kicking down the door to my apartment.
“Michaels, where is the child?” they would yell, semi-automatic guns drawn.
“No kids here, officers!”
They would rip apart my apartment looking for a child, but would then hear the two cats cry, like those mini girls in Mothra. They would laugh and allow me to complete my pirouette a le chat.
It‘s good that the music is too loud for anyone to hear. Some things are best left private.
