I think the Turkish Van version is "when you realize you're the only cat who likes swimming."

As somebody that is borderline schizophrenic, when I can get a relief from the 'voices in my head' it's a true relief. I am not fully schizophrenic because all I really hear is music on a continuous loop but it is still nevertheless annoying. I am missing my kitty therapist.

Is it good music at least? And is it music that's already been made or does your schizophrenia come up with original soundtracks for your life? This sounds really intriguing.

It really depends. Sometimes the music is very depressing and other times it's good.

Is it loud or just enough in the background to be annoying? Like if someone is saying something to you, does the music ever drown them out? And sorry for all the questions on a spazzy cat post, just curious

I am always happy to talk about mental illness because the more it is discussed, the less taboo and shameful it becomes. The music will occasionally drown someone out but I've learned through therapy how to somewhat control it. When I am depressed or overstimulated, the music becomes loud enough to drown most things out.
