I love having a cat in the house - do you have a cat?
No, Im not much of a cat person. They are too small and furry for me.
That's too bad!  Are you allergic to them?
My ex was allergic, we were together for a while and I just never got one. They are populary known to be companions but they also hunt vermin too sometimes.
I love listening to them purr - I wonder how they do that?
Purr
A purr is a tonal fluttering sound made by some species of felids and two species of genets. It varies in loudness and tone among species and in the same animal.
Although true purring is exclusive to felids and viverrids, other animals such as raccoons produce purr-like vocalization. Animals that produce purr-like sounds include mongoose, bears, badgers, foxes, hyaenas, rabbits, squirrels, guinea pigs, tapirs, ring-tailed lemurs, and gorillas while eating.

The mechanism
the name from Eric Andersen. We were together one day, and I knew there were two other David Cohens in the music business, one with Country Joe and The Fish, the other a studio cat in LA. We felt that was too many. So Eric said: 'You've got such blue eyes, you should be David Blue.' I decided to do it. I called Ramblin' Jack Eliot and Dylan because they had changed their names and Dylan thought it was very funny and started singing to me
