Well, after months of trying to track one of these down, I finally have in my posession an Octave CAT!
Of course, I find myself wanting to write “Octave the Cat” because of the main “Octave / The Cat” fan site, and repetition of the phrase at matrixsynth and elsewhere.
It turns out to be in fantastic shape, both cosmetically and functionally. I brought it in to work on the grounds that it might need a little work, and instead we've been having a great time playing with it. No repair work necessary. A wonderful addition to the collection (and quite appropriate for this site, don't you think?)
The shape the Octave is in is a nice bonus.
I'm glad zip is helping out – cute kitty. Maybe luna can join in on the fun too? 🙂
