She Hates Sopranos

A local piano/voice teacher has a house that is heated with only a wood stove. She keeps that stove cranked really hot in order to keep the two stories warm. That's why I was so surprised to see her cat snuggled down under the stove with a raging fire inside. She explained that the cat was able to stand it due to the ash drawer under the stove. Sometimes the cat got a little singed, but not too often. According to the voice instructor, the only thing that will drive the cat to flee the warmth of the fire is when a soprano student warms up. The cat hates sopranos.
