With all of the hype surrounding keyboard cat, many people have been searching for other musically inclined felines. One such feline is Nora, the five-year-old piano-playing shelter cat based out of Philadelphia.

While keyboard cat had the help of his human companions when playing his infamous keyboard bit, Nora plays the piano all by herself.

My luck the only time my cat would play the piano would be at 3 AM.

Yep -- they are nightstalkers. That's why piano keyboards have those heavy lids.

My sister taught one of her kitties to open doors, as long as the handle wasn’t round.

Another kitty was very smart. Sister would throw him the cellophane from her cigarette packs. He’d play with them awhile & then they disappeared. Time came for her to move from her apartment & she started packing. She came out into the hallway to find a pile of cellophane. Apparently the cat was getting ready to move, too. That happened TWICE - & another sister witnessed it. Cats are wonderful!

Why cats paint? Who knows. Here are pictures of one of Muffin's works. I only wish I had kept a photo of "A Thousand Noseprints" before I washed the window.

"Untitled On Glass":

"The Artist and His Work":

LOL!! Adorable!

Mine chiefly focused on carpet crafts, such as skid marks, shedworks, and the occasional mouseblood painting in the white room. She also mounted several exhibitions of “found objects”, usually dead aviana, insectia and rodentifauna. Her sole excursion into “performance art” incorporated a live snake draped across her mouth and brought in through the cat door. I had the privilege of participating in that “performance” with a broom dance and inarticulate vocalizations.

Then again, there were her carvings....

The late Muffin laughs smugly from the Rainbow Bridge. Now there was a cat with a sense of humor.
