Mewsical super group

Four of my cats have been thinking of starting a band.  Two of the proposed names for the band are Angie and the Alley Cats, and Leo and the Lions.  Salem wants to call the band 666.  Tommy doesn't care what the band is called as long as nobody calls him too late for supper.

Here are brief summaries of the band members.   

First, there's handsome Tommy, a cross between Mel Gibson and a Furby.  Tommy's got Mel's piercing gaze and Furby's nasal voice.  His deep nasal vocal stylings are quite unique. 

Then there's the soft-spoken heart throb, Leo.  Don't let his airy falsettos fool you.  Not since Ginger Baker has there been such a powerhouse of a drummer.  The big difference between them is their choice of instruments.  Ginger Baker's instrument of choice was the drums.  Leo prefers to rattle doors.   Not only is his door rattling musical, it is also a very effective technique for waking humans.  He has honed and perfected the door rattling technique to  sound like a large gorilla kicking the door in.  In between door rattlings, he squeaks in anguished falsettos.

Poor Salem doesn't exactly understand Sheryl Crow.  She thinks Sheryl Crow is famous for making crow noises and has been trying to copy her.  Salem's crow calls are a recent addition to her already impressive vocabulary.  Several times a day now, she walks up to me and dazzles me with a riff or two of caws.

Little Angie has already had some success in the musical field and her vocal ability is much admired.  Her audience is often stunned by her ability to project her voice to fill a room or building without any artificial amplification.

The problem is, the band members rarely rehearse together.  If they ever can put their personal differences aside long enough to work together, they'll have a monster of a hit on their paws.
