Important

We help find homes for cats and kittens who need them. These are usually stray, lost or abandoned cats. They come in all sizes, shapes and colours. That does not make us a sort of cat supermarket, able to produce a feline that matches your decor, taste or lack thereof.
We get way too many people asking us for cats of a particular colour and shape - usually 'white with a bushy tail'. If you have a particular preference, you know what, go look for a cat yourself. If you're genuinely interested in changing an unfortunate cat's life, you won't care what colour it's going to be. Otherwise, please, don't waste our time.

Duetto buffo di due gatti

I just got back from a benefit concert for Pets Unlimited and one of my favourite pieces was the Cat Duet by Rossini.

even though this piece is only attributed to rossini and we dont know the circumstances which inspired it, it is often thought of as what a composer came up with for two rival sopranos who hated each other..catfight! by any other name..etc.

there are several versions online like this one...
(p.s.turn volume high...i just happened to pick this one..you can search for cat duet by rossini on youtube and such)



but my favourite is this one by Montserrat Cabale..:)



Enjoy!

She is a great singer. You must try to catch her at the new opera in Barcelona. I do not know when she will appear there.
