[verdew8181]

Bertie exhibits the classical old school style of the piano-playing cats of the world, walking up and down the keyboard to get a full gamut of sound pitches. The famous Nora has adopted a more human type of style where she sits at the keyboard with her 2 front paws, occasionally using her head. Both are brilliant mewsicians!

[springhill6]

@verdew8181 What a splendid and amusing review which I enjoyed very much. You have a talent for words, and wish you every success in your mewsic reviews.

[SuperScoopers11]

@Brakeman94 yeahh thankss.. and hes as cute as eva!!

[Brakeman94]

@SuperScoopers11 awesome :) i lost my cat and never found her so im really happy u found urs.

[SuperScoopers11]

@Brakeman94 awww thankss and comiserations for your catt. :(

[clavis55]

Great!!!

[clavis55]

My cat Peter don't do that . :))

[cuzzythewolf2]

it made me laught when the book fell on her

[spikeyapples]

it's nice to have diversity among the cat music performers. Nora's stuff is light and melancholic, Bertie plays something much heavier and more powerful. Perhaps she could make a great prog rock keyboardist

[weareallmusicians]

He needs lessons with Nora this rookie.

[tuxtak]

ok ma il piano è scordato!!!

[kimada1017]

Now *that's* the way to play the piano - forget about using your paws, just walk on it! :-)

What a beautiful tux kitty - reminds me of mine (who left me in '04). We love our animals...

[springhill6]

@SuperScoopers11 I am soooo sorry to hear your cat is lost. I hope your cat is found. Only today I got knock on my door by a lady who has also lost a black cat called Rico with a bushy tail, and it was so sad to hear her story. Here's hoping .....

[SuperScoopers11]

@springhill6 thankss :)

[MoOnYQ8]

beautiful cat =^^=

[pinkgirlygirl6]

omg the thing fell over on it..

[dearmalika]

Great! he plays with 4 hands!

[sweavo]

this is beethoven to nora's mozart :-)

[catlover591001]

so cute!!

[goodboysdofinealways]

man that sucks your cat died and he's so talented. stay strong for little Bertie ( ^ - ^ ). Happy Thoughts.

[OrganCat]

Great piano work. Bertie could have taught Nora his 'four-handed' technique. Love the falling music at the end.

[maressaz]

beautiful cat.

may your wife rest in peace.. and may that darling cat have lots of fluffy clouds to play with in kitty heaven! :)

[springhill6]

Maressaz, many thanks, lovely thoughts.

[vikacutie]

[vikacutie]

I'm so sorry, it must be so harsh for you. Many Thanks for replying and greetings. Your cat was so talented, I LUV YOUR CAT!! lol reply!!

[Curly1212]

ahaha, the book falls on it

[nevawrong]

damn, i wish my cat had talent like that, because all my cat do all day is EAT, SLEEP & SHIT, lol lol lol :)

[frontline04]

My cat used to do such thing too!...hahaha...anyway...i stil love him...his name is Whisky-totkitot...hehe...ANd he's drinking Milo...haha...

[simy97]

pffffff

just want to copy...

[WhynotMiha]

01:14 :)

[ILovechance21]

my cat used to do that at night:)I miss you patches:(

[romsk22]

I love the fermata on those rests!

[shirenerocks]

ooooookay yeah my dog can actually hit a chord, NOT walking on the piano, sitting on the bench.

[churchmousie]

Cute video! Fitting also with his black and white tuxedo markings. At first I thought his name was "Mozart". =^..^=

I too was sorry to hear he has left us. Although it's been a few years, you might want to do a search for findagrave on Google, to create a tribute in his memory. The video looks a little fuzzy; but understandable due to it's age. I'm sure you probably have quite a few nice photos of him you could post.

[genie990]

Aww such a cute cat =) Def more talented then my cat who doesn't really care for anything besides playing,eating and sleeping lol

Also I'm really sorry for your loss..RIP Bertie

[jazzx251]

For God's sake - the cat doesn't stand a chance to express itself.

GET YOUR PIANO TUNED! I wouldn't want to play on that, nor would any half-decent musician.

You're wasting your cat's talent with a piano in that state!

[springhill6]

Yes, you have very sensitive ears. The piano did need tuning and has since been tuned. The piano was donated to a piano teacher who teaches music to deserving students. Bertie the cat is now playing in harmony up in the clouds in cat heaven.

[MonickerL]

I'm sorry for your loss, Springhill. May I ask, was Bertie at least at a ripe old age when he passed?

[springhill6]

12 years of age, and Bertie's daughter Noire, is now 20 years of age.

[xxbrituhnee]

AWESOME.

dude that cat should teach me how to do that.

then maybe i can impress my piano teacher.

ch'yeah.

thats righhhht.

i went there (((:

[puffylittleshoes]

I bet if I had a cat, I could train him to play too.

[tiltilrox]

i reckon hes as good as nora... but gets distracted easily...

and like this is like the same whole video.. for nora i think they have like a permanent video camera and put the good parts up here.

[BreakinpopRG]

noraz best :)

[kidcalabria]

He's not quite as good as Nora, his style is more gothic and avantgarde, but what a great cat! Thanks for posting this!

[SnakeInLake]

You don't get it.. He is Picasso (H)

[SnakeInLake]

Picasso in music )))

[zapatos2008]

that's not exactly playing the piano the cat is just walking across the keys

[Iaxobus]

I loved the part where the book fell on his head and knocked him off the piano.

[mortalcross]

this cat has a short skil but sounded good to mme in that good part

[Mery2cc]

Hes lovely!! loves classical music!!

[zackthecat01]

bertie is a lovely pianist!

[varvorines]

i think its to funny when the sheet music falls on the cat. I keep rewinding it over again...

[7thheavenfan99]

I agree. I can't stop laughing

[Acquamarinaaa]

Ah i love dramatic piano symfonies by cats!

[retteretter]

from the way hes being shy u can tell hes a master pianist who performs mozart in his free time when no one is looking

[chippie129]

bertie is cute :)

[alarob]

The cat plays with feeling, and the feeling is: "Put that @#$! camera down and pet me."

[soheiljerusalem]

this is great but Nora is something else . genuinely

[sandyneedsmusic]

yes, I agree with you! ;-)

[curruptdownunder]

Bertie : "I refuse to purrr-form under these conditions! There's no spotlight and no audience. Where's my manager?" hehe what a character ;-P

[springhill6]

Purr-fect lines assigned to Bertie !

[10cheecka10]

i cud almostimagine the cat saying,"What do u want 4rom me????"

[nicolescotland]

my cat lucy does that on my keyboard when im trying to play it lol

[gavsky23]

Or better still drums...anyway whilst Nora is classically trained, lovely Bertie seems to be a freeform jazz kind of guy...

[fwtt]

What about the cat today?

[springhill6]

Bertie is now pushing up daisies under an apple tree, and we have a great crop of apples this year.

[Rachel458]

What a gorgeous cat!! I love your story about the tradesmen. I'm sure he's having a great time in kitty heaven...

[aoifemoe]

I heard about your Austria tour, my mum was with you Ger. Bertie was a great character. We'll look forward to those front row seats!

[aoifemoe]

Very talent cat, down the banks. When does his world tour start? Is it sold out yet. I can't wait to get my hands on those tickets!!!!

[springhill6]

Aoife thanks. Great idea world tour, just back touring Austria. Special front seat for you on de Banks of river Lee, Cork

[vikacutie]

Oh my Gosh I'm so sorry! I never knew your cat died. Don't worry, My other cat died, too. We have a Lot In common.

-Vikacutie

[mafaldaqui]

Bertie looks so cute playin piano, I'm sure angels cats are enjoying his music... I love cats! :D

[badfutureuk]

I prefer Nora's sound but Bertie is more dramatic and varied.
