The title is a little misleading. Give me a cat and I’ll take their story and think about how I’d add music to it! Assigning cats different leitmotifs and themes, main characters having a distinct instrument involved in the music when they are a main focus, how things could shake up a bit in different scenes! I’ll try to come up with ideas for how I’d handle music and instrumentation for them. Any other music enjoyers feel free to drop your own thoughts and ideas! I thought this could be a fun little creative thing for us all to think about. I’m not an expert on absolutely everything music, and different opinions and perspectives would be cool to see!
It would be preferable to have major cats as suggestions, where you get a better feel of their story and personality, but looking at background cats could be fun too!

Huge music fan! Let's do this! Gray Wing Ok, hear me out for a second, but imagine that the original Clan leaders have extremely different styles. They could be different genres, like Riverstar is classical, or different groups of instruments, like Shadowstar is classical strings. And then Gray Wing’s theme has elements of all five woven into his own theme??? For a main instrument, Gray Wing, based purely on vibes, gives me soft acoustic guitar (not quite sure of a specific type, I’m less familiar with strings) or a quiet double French horn. He’s a tricky one, because I want to connect him to everything somehow but that’s not really how it works. I could say electric keyboard so he could be everything everywhere all at once (point if you get the reference) as a joke. I’m curious, what do you think he’d be?

Banjo. Even more than Barley, Purdy gives banjo vibes.

Hm, interesting! I may repeat this instrument because I think it could be fitting for multiple cats, but perhaps a lighter-sounding type of kalimba/mbira. It’s a really cool instrument and can be really beautiful, gentle and also firm.

Cinderpelt, Bluestar, Yellowfang, Silverstream, Feathertail, Stormfur, Violetshine, Needletail, Pinestar? I will come back to these after thinking more about some of them, but for now: Needletail: electric bass Feathertail: concert flute Yellowfang: bass clarinet Stormfur: Tenor saxophone (I imagine that Silverstream has a type of flute and Graystripe a type of sax. Their kits take after them) Violetshine: keyboard synthesizer
