"Of all God's creatures,
there is only one

That one is the cat.
If man could be
crossed with a cat
it would improve man,
but it would
deteriorate the cat."
- Mark Twain

An early morning email from a pet food company had a little story about Nora the piano cat...which led me to search for this 'amazing' cat that has put out her own CD. OK, take it with a grain of salt...found a YouTube video of her in action...would have liked to see her really go at it for a period of time, but the video is full of jump cuts which tells me Nora has a limited attention span when it comes to tickling the ivories.
