The old upright piano has a scuffed wood finish and a lace runner on top, and Abuela Rosa sits at its keys with her glasses low and a peaceful look on her face. She wears an olive-green shirt under a floral apron, with a soft bun in her grey hair. One hand rests on the keys, and she leans as though listening to each note. Mango, an orange Exotic Shorthair with a flat face and wide copper eyes, sits tall beside her on the bench, looking like a very serious page-turner. Framed family photos, a succulent in a pot, a blanket, and a teacup fill out the cozy room.

Cats are sensitive to sound, so music can be soothing or startling depending on the cat. Soft, steady tunes often relax them, while loud or sudden noises may send them hiding. An Exotic Shorthair, known for a calm and easygoing temperament, may well enjoy sitting by a person playing quietly. Make sure the lid and the keys are clear of paws that might get caught, and keep teacups and yarn out of a cat's reach. A comfortable perch near the instrument gives him a safe place to listen. Playing an instrument is also a lovely hobby for people of any age.

Rosa plays a gentle tune and Mango listens like a critic. Whatever the song, the audience has no complaints.
