Diva Diva Diva!

Princess Kitty truly is a Diva. They had a concert on her singing course. Everyone performed. Everyone sang their very best.

Princess Kitty sang "Wonderful World" with all her heart. She sang "I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten" the very best she could.

Her teacher says she sang well. She says it was the best she had ever heard Princess Kitty sing. She said her voice is getting stronger every time. Well done Princess Kitty.

Growly Bear has been singing too. He has kept himself busy while Princess Kitty was away. He knows if he thinks about her too much he will miss her. Sometimes it does not do to dwell on the point of guinea pigs.

After Princess Kitty got home from her course she went to see her Mummy and Daddy. She sang for them. They said it was lovely. They think Princess Kitty is a Diva.

Princess Dusty

Princess Kitty is on her singing course. She is singing with other people. She is singing on her own. She is having a wonderful time.

The course is for people who can sing a little bit but want to improve. Princess Kitty has decided to challenge herself. She wants to learn some of the things she finds hard about singing. She had chosen hard songs to sing. She wants to learn more about making musical magic. It might help her understand the point of guinea pigs.

So Princess Kitty has been concentrating really hard. First they warmed up. They sang scales. They sang tongue twisters. They did breathing exercises. Then the group sang some songs together in parts. Princess Kitty thinks she is probably an Alto so she took the lower girls part. There were men on the course too. They sang "It's A Long Way To Tipperary" and "Pack Up Your Troubles". They sang "Widdicombe Fair" about Uncle Tom Cobbley and all. They sang"Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring" by J.S. Bach and "Fairest Isle" by Henry Purcell. They made a really beautiful sound. Princess Kitty loved being part of making the sound.

Then they practised their solos. The teacher helped them with the things they found difficult or needed to improve. Princes Kitty practised "What A Wonderful World". She likes this song because it reminds her of the happiness and love she has in her life.

And Princess Kitty practised "I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten". There are some high notes in it. Princess Kitty is scared of high notes. She hasn't worked out the magic for them yet. Her teacher said "Trust and believe"

Princess Kitty is tired by bedtime. She is sad too. She fogot to bring the charger for her little Samsung. Her battery has gone flat. Now she can't talk to Growly Bear. She can't text him to tell him about her day. She can't tell him that tomorrow she is going to be Princess Dusty.

Everybody Wants To Be A Cat

Princess Kitty is quite content at the moment. Work is not too bad. She has had a guitar lesson. Her teacher says she should perform a song in public next month. Princess Kitty is going to think about this.

Princess Kitty is moving things along gradually in her search for a home of her own. Things are good between her and Growly Bear. And she is seeing Growly Bear tomorrow. She is very content indeed.

Princess Kitty is looking forward to going on another singing course. She wants to be a Diva again. She is looking forward to meeting up with her girl kitten again. And her boy kitten.

It was Princess Kitty's boy kitten's birthday yesterday. He was 22. She went to see him. She gave him a present. He was pleased to see Princess Kitty. He gave her a kiss and a hug. Princess Kitty purred. Things have been a bit difficult between her and her boy kitten. He is unhappy that she left their big house. He is unhappy that she loves Growly Bear. He doesn't understand why Princess Kitty went away. He doesn't understand about her search for the point of guinea pigs.

So Princess Kitty was happy that her boy kitten was kind to her and liked seeing her.

It's definitely not a dog's life.

Born To Perform

Poor Growly Bear. He has not had a very nice day. He has had a long drive to work. Then he has had lots of meetings. And then a long drive home.

Growly Bear does not like meetings. He does not like sitting still for so long. He does not like just talking about things. He likes to do things. Like feeding guinea pigs. He understands that it is important to plan but he likes action. He is a born performer.

Princess Kitty has been thinking about performing. She has been watching a DVD of the public performance she and Growly Bear did before Christmas. She watched it with her mummy and daddy. They watched it twice. Except Princess Kitty made her daddy play one bit four times. It was the bit at the end where Growly Bear gives her a hug. A special Growly Bear hug.

Princess Kitty thinks Growly Bear looks beautiful in the DVD. Composed, elegant, handsome and sexy. She thinks he is very charismatic. Princess Kitty wants to look that cool when she performs. She thinks the DVD will be helpful. She can study her performance and find ways to improve. Like not looking down at her fret hand so much. And not looking at the music because she didn't need to she knew it so well. And not blinking so much and so slowly. She needs to speed up her blink and use other parts of her face to express herself.

And now Princess Kitty knows she can sing. She can sing in tune. She needs more power and passion. She needs to let herself go more. But she can sing.

And as for Growly Bear. Well as Mummy Cat said, he has a lovely warm baritone voice. Nice one Growly Bear

Rock 'n Roll Angels

They did it! Growly Bear and Princess Kitty performed together in public for the first time. They sang and played their guitars together in front of 800 people. Brave Princess Kitty. Brave Growly Bear.

Princess Kitty sang a solo. Then Growly Bear joined in in harmony. Princess Kitty felt the ground beneath her feet and sang with all her heart. She saw all the people looking and listening. She felt scared and excited and tiny and big all at the same time. As she sang she understood the point of guinea pigs. She couldn't explain it. She just felt it in her soul.

Growly Bear says Princess Kitty has the voice of an angel. Kind Growly Bear. Princess Kitty thinks Growly Bear might be an angel. She can't be sure though. She has peeked at his back when he is sleeping to see if she can see where his wings would fit. She couldn't see any marks. Perhaps Growly Bear has a spell to make them invisible.

Peas In A Pod

Growly Bear and Princess Kitty are preparing. They have a very big day tomorrow. A very big day indeed. They are going to be performing in public. In front of lots of people.

Princess Kitty says she is feeling scared. She feels like a frightened little guinea pig. Growly Bear says he is not scared at all. Princess Kitty doesn't believe him though. She peeked at him when he thought she wasn't looking and caught a little tremble.

Growly Bear has come to The Cardigan for the night. They have been getting things ready. They put new strings on their guitars. They polished their guitars. They adjusted their straps. Growly Bear has even bought a new capo for the occasion. It is shiny and red. He is very proud of it. Princess Kitty thinks he should avoid using a pink plectrum with it though because the colours clash.

Princess Kitty is going to wear her new blouse. Growly Bear is ironing his ribbon. They will look smart. Everyone will say what a fine couple they make. Like peas in a pod.
