Indeed.
I neglected to mention though, her name is Paloma 🙂
Our last cat was called Dave though! And he was completely white.
Without realising it, I've painted my speakers the same colour..
Perhaps as homage?
I'll try ‘

The previously mentioned Paloma, taking f ING liberties....
Mr Goober loves anything but Japanese punk and solid state. He leaves after registering his complaint.
I can't show a picture of her listening to music, but I used to have a tortoiseshell cat by the name of Homebrew who was a terrific mouser. Whenever I put cat-friendly music on (Joan Armatrading, Joni Mitchell, etc), there would be a thump from upstairs as she jumped off the bed, then she would park herself in the exact centre of the sofa and listen in the perfect position.

Cat photo of the year award? I think so. This is nugget. She's incredibly smart and a total demon.
Are you allowed solid state amplifiers? That looks like 1st, 2nd, and 3rd editions of "Valve Amplifiers" in the bookcase behind splendid cat.
Ah, and a very much more complete RCA loose leaf handbook than mine, a probable copy of Terman on the upper shelf. Oddly enough, it's hot over here as well (25C already, and it's only 09:40), so firing up valves isn't an attractive idea. I hadn't seen loose leaf Sylvania handbooks before. I assumed the "Broken Genius" would be Tesla, but a search found it was Shockley, who I vaguely knew was not a nice person.
I have Jones' volume four lurking about here somewhere, too. Trouble is that the interest in building amps quickly led to getting test gear with which to characterize them, which led to the HP mailing list online, which lead to rescuing a 5245L counter to save it from the nixie clock makers, which led to other nixie test equipment, which was the start down the rabbit hole of TE collecting which somehow hasn't yet caused my house to collapse...
(Not the initial 5245L; I have a few of them now...)
A more recently acquired Racal Universal Counter atop an HP 5246L, a simpler cousin of the 5245L.
