Nora, the piano-playing cat

[AmberLee]

Apparently this has been around UTube (YouTube??) for months, but I just learned of it today.

Here is the link to Nora practicing the piano:

Here is the link of Nora playing duets:

I think these are simply adorable! I hope you enjoy them, too. (And I think Nora looks SO much like my little Cassy-boy!

They have been posted here before I think.. I have watched them and rewatched them ever since.. Just watched them again about a week ago, I LOVE watching her play the piano.. Isn't that the cutiest thing!?

I thought it was too cute for me to be the original poster, sigh.

Ah well. Have you seen this sequel -- Nora calls a piano tuner?

Awww! Cute piano tuner too. What a star Nora is. :D

[Laura's Babies]

NO! I hadn't seen that one! That is as cute as the others!!

Bravissimo Nora!!!!! I have seen these before on the news but these videos just get cuter every time I see them. It must be a tremendous help to Nora's career having Rennie as a live-in piano tuner, excellent job there, Rennie!

By the way, has Nora released a CD yet? If so, it's going right on top of my Christmas wish list!

Well I had never seen any of these videos before so I thank you very much for the link! :cool: What a clever talented girl Nora is. I am sitting here with a big smile on my face. :D

I had seen Nora before but not her cute tuner :)
Sometimes I think youtube is all crap and sometimes I think it is the best thing you can do in your spare time;)

THE BEST THING IS TAHT WHEN JUKE JOINT JOSEPH OPENS AT CAESARS PALACE IN LAS VEGAS, NORA WILL BE HIS CO STAR AND ACCOMPONONIST.
BEWTEEN THOSE FELINE SUPERSTARS THEY WILL HAVE THE SRO SIGNS ALL USED UP!!!

Oh my gosh I love this story and all of the videos. I am curious as to whether she does it because she likes the music or because she likes the feel of the keys moving. Cats are just so amazing!

I believe it was Astrid that posted the concerto "catcerto" featuring Nora earlier this month.

According to a newspaper article, Nora has been named Cat-of-the-Year by the ASPCA.

An excerpt from the article quotes the ASPCA as saying when announcing the award, "Nora is a talented example of how shelter pets - far from being cast offs - often make the best animal companions."

Nora, a 5 year old gray tabby was adopted by Betsy Alexander of Philadelphia
from a shelter in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. This sweet kitty has appeared on tv programs and even inspired a composition by a Lithuanian conductor.

Concatulations, Nora!
