Hi Tim,

Just another perspective: Why not try to record the cat without a 
click? Then create loops on a computer with a software that can give 
you the needed tempo in a mouse click! Over the last two years I have 
been recording many drummers and for my needs the resulting music comes 
out much better if the drummer is free to play according to his own 
built in metronome. Recording software like Ableton Live and Logic Pro 
7 can do this in a wink by some nifty elastic audio algorithms.
