Ah, poor kitties! They seem to understand to some extent when they are being ridiculed. And they definitely understand being adored. We had one cat with a huge fluffy tail. Whenever I would adore her tail and tell her how beautiful it was, she would start drooling.BillTre said:

Other than by looking for trombone player pix on the Internet a few minutes ago I don't have the slightest idea how to hold a trombone. Based on my search, the way they hold them certainly does look wrong. I'd be more inclined to believe that the trombones are real and the kids don't know anything about them. (Like me). The pic was a setup. A bit less funny, but a good try.Borg said:
They are holding them left-handed, which I think is simply because the picture has been reversed, and at an odd angle, but the way they are holding them they could well be playing them. (My youngest brother is a professional trombone player, and I sometimes used to play along on his previous instrument in his early days).Borg said:

If the cat on our left had its right foot forward, and orange had his tail to our left, it would be purrrrrfect.dwarde said:
The pipe joint between the two parts of a basic trombone can tightened up at any angle, so a "left-handed" trombone would merely involve reversing the angle. However, if it also contains the additional pipework and trigger for switching a tenor trombone from Bb to F (as is normal for a professional instrument), I think that is normally designed to be operated by the left hand. In this picture, I can see some extra pipework over the shoulder, so even if the backwards text was not visible, that would confirm mirroring of the image.Averagesupernova said:Here's a pic of the web that based on the guys shirt is obviously mirrored. Matches the position of the kids in the pic. Can't find any writing in the pic with the dog to indicate it is mirrored or not. But if it were not mirrored, I think the assembly of the trombone would be wrong compared to the below pic. Unless there is such a thing as a left handed trombone. Please don't laugh.
