Need help - I now have more cats than instruments

[MartyNeilan]

I've been asked to do some bass guitar playing again, so I may pick up one from one of the local used music stores/pawn shops around here.
That would put me at the break-even point again:
88-key keyboard (shared with singer wife), BART 6/4 CC tuba, Wessex solo Eb tuba, and 4 or 5 string bass if I grab one.
vs.
Cranky old lady cat, Spastic middle aged female cat, Overweight male orange tiger cat, Smelly year old female cat with perpetually loose bowels and in heat (giving probiotics and fixing soon, in more ways than one.)

I had a friend like that in junior high school. We both had one instrument: our school band horns. His folks had to cats. I managed to multiply geometrically the number of instruments I own over the course of decades. OTOH, both his number of instruments and number of cats has grown slowly, but linearly, in parallel fashion.
