Doug6N's Bengal cats and Presto 6N

[Steve E.]

These videos come courtesy of our man Doug6N. These are his Bengal cats ("roughly a cross between Asian Leopard Cat and Tabby house cat") and vintage Presto 6N record cutting lathe. Much wonderfulness!!!! The first two clips are my faves but I recommend just setting yourself up for a half hour of Bengal CatCam.

Here's the automatic player link that will play all 7 videos.

This both delights me and makes me cringe. Something expensive is bound to get broken.

My cat is surprisingly chilled out about the vacuum pump running while a cut is going. Just this afternoon she came and sat meatloaf-style at my feet while I was cutting some sides. She's well-behaved though, she knows not to jump on anything on the north side of the room. (Bass amp, lathe, laser printer, turntable, computer.) I can't say the same for my feet at six in the morning. And I keep some compressed air at hand because every so often an airborne bit of cat fur fluff will come floating along and land on the record being cut.

I liked the story about the resident cat at Aardvark Mastering alerting them to a helium leak in the cutting room. I wonder how he detected it and brought it to their attention? Super squeaky meows?

This is just too cute!

As an addendum to this, can I state for the record (har har): re-winding used AWG29 onto a mandrel is a pain in the posterior when a cat is attacking the loose end of the wire.

Is Doug the guy who cut Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever" album?
