Bagpipes are attributed to the Romans. They were adopted by Gaelic speakers. While the rest of Europe rusted away in the Dark Ages, the Celtic Fringe raised their use to a high art.

Have you seen bagpipes played in the presence of a cat? Suddenly there is no cat, nothing but hints of fur blown about by the air rushing into a small vaccum hole.

Cats don't react well to machanical profanity played in their own language.
