844.0. "MEOWRY CHRISTMAS" by CSLALL::MHOLMES () Thu Dec 22 1994 10:55

    Last night at a Yankee Swap, I the "Jingle Cats" tape I've been hearing
    so much about.  It's Christmas carols "sung" by cats.  I brought it
    home and played it for "Tigger" who was not at all pleased.  He sat
    there for a few seconds, laid his ears back, then ran under the bed. 
    There are also a few dogs on the tape, too, which caused him to back
    further under bed.  I kept telling him that it was okay and he finally
    crept into the living room, and after he found out there was really
    nothing wrong, he decided to do his macho schtic; he stuck his tail in
    the air and pranced around like "Who me?  Scared?  You must be joking!" 
    It was really funny to watch.  And the tape is great.  It would be fun
    to play it at a party with no warning ahead of time.  
    
    Well, happy holidays from Marilyn, Alan, and Tigger

844.1Digitizing noiseBPSOF::EGYEDPer aspera ad astraFri Dec 23 1994 07:5412
    I also have the Spalla CD. The digitized sound is sample rated at 22
    and 44 kHz, so we hear it as perfect cats (as they originally are) but the
    digitizing on the CD puts the oversampling noise on the track and the
    cats HEAR that, so they do not acknowledge the sound as a real cat's
    meow.
    
    Well, the cats are superior to us.
    
    I love that track, is in my car setereo always. Helps through traffic
    jams, all cursing and me smiling!
    
    Happy Xmas, Nat
