    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!

    EEEEEEP! Squeal! Thank You, Amberlee! My two passions in life are music and cats and Nora is irresistible! (opening e-mail program as fast as possible to share her with friends)

    Dear Santa Paws,
    May I please have a giclee of Nora and the piano keys for Catmas?
    Thank you,
    Elyse
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!


    "That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

    "We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet
