Cat Piss Blues

The Friedbergers/Fiery Furnaces interviewed by PETA about their pets [via an ad on Stereogum]:

P2: Did either of you have any companion animals when you guys were growing up, or do you have any animals now?

FF: Oh yeah, when we were growing up. We don’t have any animals now. We’re both very dog crazy. We had a cat and a dog growing up. Our cat, Rodney, was very interesting, actually. He chose my mom to like and didn’t like Eleanor that much.

P2: For no reason at all?

FF: Oh no. There is a very good reason. Eleanor says it’s not true, but … I remember when Eleanor got her first electric guitar. I think I gave it to her for her birthday. A friend of mine had this case he wasn’t gonna use, this real nice guitar case. … So Eleanor took it home and apparently she left it open. … She fixed it up—she made it so it fit her guitar perfectly and was all funny colors—but apparently Rodney didn’t like the attention being paid to the case and he peed in it. So that’s what he thought of Eleanor’s would-be music career apparently.

P2: Uh-oh.

(It's true. Blockquoting makes blogging easy.)
