Cats playing the Theremin
The cat doesn't have any expression on his face, he just looks up at the camera.
Get a hold of yourself, man.

Cats playing the Theremin
I still reckon Theremin sounds like a recalled 70s drug.
A terrible, terrible band played in my pub once. They had a theremin, along with all sorts of other shit instruments. They were a sort of Mark Ronson does Britain's got talent out-takes, with a Prog Rock setting. Some of them were dressed as Nuns, some as Cow Boys, and some rather unwisely chose to wear their own clothes. I can't begin to describe - if you ignore the last two sentences - how bad they were.
One of the guys came to the bar and got chatting with another member of staff. My colleague asked them what sort of music they played. The band member stammered and found it hard to answer.
"Fusion." I interrupted.
"Ah yes. Fusion!" The fella agreed.
"Con-fusion." I continued in that irritatingly smug way I have. Luckily the man agreed and seemed rather taken with the gag. So much so that he later told me that's what they were going to call the band. He can have it for free.
Their version of 'Psycho Killer' was awesome in its awfulness. Psycho Killer? Qu'est-ce que c'est? RUN RUN RUN RUN AWAY.

The cat in the last clip looks lie Stouffer's pale cousin. He also seemed to be the only cat to work out roughly what was going on.
None of them really did that 'paw-waving' thing that cats so often do, though.
Stupid cats!
Mind you - dogs aren't necessarily any better.
...or are they?

That's interesting: I assumed you would say cats, because you've got a cat and you've started a thread about cats.

This is fascinating stuff for everyone, isn't it?

FF:
You can buy them (or if not, then order them) from most good music shops.
However, I'm certain that you can also get kits to build them, which may well work out cheaper.
There's also one or two synths that have a similar idea built-in, but controlled by a light beam. I've briefly played with a DJ console that had a similar device attached. It wasn't very good, musically/DJ-speaking ...but a cat is not to know that, of course!
