[moocaten]

*wipes tear*

[GrizzlyAmish]

The sorrow, the happiness.. this portrays my feelings all too well.

[datttyboyy]

this is the most beautiful sound in the world..

[StereoCompany]

this is regodamndiculous...

[fujigoldfish]

I love how they actually match the key the cat plays in haha

[jamlaw]

I love that the cat was probably some brillaint piano player in a past life, had a hard life, and was like "aw man I want to come back as a cat in my next life". Then she gets to the piano as a cat and is like "ARG! it's frustrating not to have my fingerrrrss!! You have no idea what I'm truly capable of!" Heheh, but really, this is so beautiful and lovely and I thank the composer and the cat and the owner and whatta crazy fascinating world..

[KLGRasengan]

I DO NOT KNOW. WHAT I AM DOING

[spguy9801]

This honestly is a brilliant composition. Goes to show that music can come from anywhere.  Love it.

[Muffinmanv2]

I expected the cat to suck. But seriously she wasn't terrible, just not very good.

[MCCENTx2]

umm wht

[asianboywonder2312]

It is evident that the video is just the seed for the composer's work, the orchestra isn't just mimicking the piano.

[RaianCPS]

This is....

This is just dumb.

[heavell99]

Really? ... Really? :/

[GizmoTheFFF]

Seen the original a long time ago. Some dumbass redditor brought me here. idiot.

[dashduhad]

258 people don't like cats XD



[DeathWishskates4life]

This is fucking gay,

[unseendamage100]

That cat has more talent than I do! Fuck....

[TheAwakenedHeretic]

A random cat hits keys, the composer is a genius.

[TheMunqq]

So sick

[nonindividualist]

I liked the part when the cat played piano!

[FrankioloDiddlyDee]

this is just so cool!

[m1k3072]

That cat makes better music than Bieber!

[justmisskasik]

@m1k3072 YOU DON'T SAY?!?!?!

[fashobro88]

1:48 is genius

[amusingscreenname]

WHEN YOU LEARN YOUR SCALES AND YOUR ARPEEEEGIOS

[nadcarial]

Es increible como se mantiene en una misma tonalidad....eso se llama talento y sensibilidad musical...mejor q muchos humanos eh???

[crazyangel19900503]

2:51 it is great!

[asianmusic99]

1:47 to 1:57 sounds really nice. so talented for a cat!

[XxGreenapplezXx]

CONGRATS! THIS CAT WAS SHOWN WHEN I WENT TO A SYMPHONY TODAY - claps -

[bananacrazy554]

I saw this in my guiness world records 2012 book:D

[PereirinhaSlb]

It's amazing what cats can do! And there's millions of cats abandoned in the street. This really pisses me off.

[orche80]

Ce chat est un jazzman lol

[coyoteroadkill]

LOL all you want. Mindaugas Piecaitis is a genius!

[katsandroses]

Lovely composition, and moreover, a truly magnificent act of love and respect from Mindaugas Piecaitis. One of the most touching things I've seen on Youtube, thank you :-))

((( Nora )))

[gfimadcat]

Quite a haunting piece but nice

[chairtableashtray99]

Wow, so absolutely modern. Humans resound to animals in such fascinating ways. Love it.

[MrRuneTunes]

At 2:53 to 2:57 wow sounds like she is like meant to play it haha

[Twinkikklebunny]

Pretty good for a cat! But imagine if Nora somehow turned human. Damn, she'd be an unbelievable pianist.

[eveningthought]

Aristocats, anyone?

[beverlybradley210]

This video is a favorite on Dominica

[TheCrudler]

I hate it when cats are better at piano than me.

[paulahuchhuch]

OH! THANK YOUUUUU...THIS IS WONDERFUL AND SOOO AWSOME...

[kyxh]

A quando una performance con un gatto dal vivo e magari live electronics?

[twilightfreak740]

0:26 - he has an audience!

[raissaweeke]

Неплохая Combi - программа получилась..... ( Эти коты на многих видеороликах солировали ). До появление этого уникального музыкального союза !!! Весьма....

[wizard101magic2]

this is in 2012 guiness world records, reading it now :D

[MachinistakaxERo]

@wizard101magic2 why? for what? lol

[signetroup]

This video went viral on Brasilia

[minecrafterforthewin]

Thumbs up if Guinnes World Records lead you here, love the cat too; our kitten play piano too :-)

[Semtheboy]

Sgattig

[citrine615]

This is amazing!! Given the limitations of "hand" size and shape, her playing is very even. I love the way she does the phrasing movement. The bit from 1:52 to 2:10 is especially impressive. Kudos to Mr. Piecaitis as well!

[john54421]

OMG i love it i love catz I <3 cats!

[usamuun]

There is no doubt in my mind that Nora is the reincarnation of some pianist.

[cocogrrrlll]

Thats just soooo awesome!!!!

[Mrsefton147]

Quality.

[MegaSinilga]

Вот и не верь в реинкоргацию после увиденного

[blueststar]

Gorgeous music.. so pretty. 

[jxbech1]

I think the other two cats like the album by Reo Speedwagon "You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish"

[bloomingkary]

he reminds me of the one in the Aristocats :)

[conradopaulino]

I want the phone from his manager..... 

[natch15]

I love how the other cats are gathered around at the beginning!

[pgmagiccolors]

@natch15 I heard the other cats are more into "Cats Scratch Fever" by Ted Nugent!!!

[piazink]

Ellmister: whatever happened to your sense of fun and humor? Even assuming that the musicians in this video were as humorless as you, hey! their video has been watched nearly three million times. Gotta be worth something to them!

[JoJeMaProducties]

cool



[burnellmusic]

Amazing composition. Maestro Piecaitis has created a remarkable piece of music, perfectly incorporating the piano stylings of Nora. I have the pleasure of sharing my life with this wonderful and intriguing feline. She continues to play almost daily.

[Purrscilla5]

Bravo

[LizziF019]

so much emotion. my cats do this on my keyboard sometimes.

[synon9m]

The cat’s genius here is; knowing it's as much about the sound BETWEEN the notes as it is the notes themselves, these dramatic pauses speak to inchoate longings in all of us. Brilliant!

[simontay1984]

@astraltears1 Oh definately yes!

[ernestlsewell]

@astraltears1 thAn.

[fratsels]

cats are funny, compared to humans

[libisoni]

Que punto



[MasterJone1]

what say ye, Nyan Cat??

[iseeu1980]

This is so beautiful. :)

[borghese1]

Wow ...

[BetseyFlorair56]

ha bin reich aber einsam

[markhh]

Fabulous!

[TheBaesment]

KEYBOARD CAT IS BETTER

[luispelaeztores]

What's the cat's race? / ¿Qué raza de gato es?

[Zell666Dincht]

@luispelaeztores master race for sure

[luispelaeztores]

What's the cat's race? / ¿Qué raza de gato es?

[BillionsUponUs]

a beautiful comPAWsition!

[MusicalTalent89]

I love it!!

[norudecommentsplease]

Does Nora take requests? I quite like carnival of the animals if she could start practising please :)

[djkotebe]

Wonderful! this just made my Musicality fave list :D

[eiroight]

???

[62Lizbeth]

O.O holy Sh*t..

[YamCrush]

aplausos al compositor!

[sparkster7744]

@YamCrush

El gato? xB

[SuperTendril]

I particularly like 1:58 to 2:00

[ErinnAsleyvh498]

mmh ich bin eine gummi puppe

[singoku1]

super!

[LABUSTO]

The 238 haters are insecure and should be blaming themselves on their lack of talent. Get over it or just sell your piano; you probably suck anyway if you have nothing better to do then pick on Nora.

Maybe she can give you losers, lessons. 

[coadynoel]

@LABUSTO You're trolling right? I mean, it's a cat poking a piano. It sounds like shit.

[EBM4music]

super :D polska przejmuje filmik :x

[Sylvscats]

I only understood aciu. lietuvisku komentaru from the updater's comment. Thanks. Lithuanian comment

[valentinka2668]

Какой милый котик!!!!!



[0heyjc]

I literally shed a tear when the cat cuddled the piano. And they say animals are irrational.

[Michishibiku]

Weirdo Lithuanians. :D I approve.

[Zlesw]

Superb...too cute and the orchestration was simply beautiful.

[ElliePearl]

This is adorable. I cannot believe they wrote an orchestra part for Nora's playing. Nora is so cute the way she seems to cuddle against the piano keys. >.<

[13ncb]

lol I can only imagine what this orchestra was thinking

[afroisalreadyin]

beautiful paddle work there

[bekacynthia]

oH my \god! she is so cute, adorable, and it´s funny how she stops to pay attention to the music and how she is really into the sound. She loves the piano!!! she must be Mozart´s reencarnation! ;)

[louisvonbeethoven]

The cat has more soul and talent than the 237 haters.

[mfreeman313]

I used to think Nora was adorable and certainly an enthusiastic amateur but maybe a bit of a novelty act. But she just needed the right collaborators, and she's making music for the ages. : )

[synxfirefox]

you can tell the cat really likes the sound when it cuddles the piano

[jompavp]

@Adghar - yo, dont hate cause the cat is more famous then you! Lol starting up as a musician is hard enough and we all know that! But the cat got lucky, quit hatting and get back to your sheet music! :)

[xtaniiiiix]

This cat has no idea that he's the new Bach... Quick! Someone give this composer an award.

[engimalover]

This masterpiece should be on the top of any classical repertoire.

[mkmetivier]

o! nora's siblings put in an appearance! how cool is that?

[mandiferrer]

big, big credits go to the composer/arranger of this piece... he composed & arranged a song built around the video of the cat doodling on the piano.

[mandiferrer]

237 who pressed the dislike button felt insecure from the cat

[Domanihatu]

Making irritating noises come from a piano is simple... As this video clearly proves, any animal with at least two legs is capable of that! But, to make MUSIC with a piano requires years of diligent and dutiful practice; which is something that cats, obviously, CANNOT do.

Simply put, this sounds like crap; it's nothing more then a cat making irritating noises with a piano. (And, a small group of musicians who wasted time backing up that irritating noise with other annoying sounds.)

[Adghar]

@Domanihatu I smell a tonalist.

[ch1do121]

@Domanihatu This is cat making music with his paws with a group of musicians to back it up. The whole point is that they can make music with ANYTHING and that this is a new idea to explore. At least this cat is much more famous than you. This cat is in the Guiness World Record.

[MrMiller997]

thumbs up if u watched half of it!

[vociferous4life]

..............................­...?

[MaRcElOmN1]

is that tom??

[milosbar]

That´s some fatass cat hehe, but a nice player too!

[GiovanniAv]

Beautiful!

[jackoe123]

what's so good about this? haha like if the video wasn't edited sure but its just a cat on a fucking piano!

[miguelriveraibanez]

@jackoe123 Pfff americans...

[cocoygris]

Genius cat & wonderful cat music lovers.

[ProximaOne]

Labai gražu :)

[elettrofisa]

eccezzionaleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e

[MegaNocturn]

that cat is now the star of the human world go nora go!!!!

[KakSeZove]

Mindaugas, You are truly a genius! Thank you for this beautiful little piece of art.. :)

[crabhuman]

catnip on keys ftw

[nasholoscosho]

: ' )

[Nameofoglon]

божественноооо! Nuostabu!!!!!!!!!!

[infracaca]

my pet rat can play the same piece 10 times better

[saw212saw212]

beautiful c':

[tiganfascist]

wen you have nothing else to do ....

[Bflatblues55]

Fabulous!

[aroradreem]

I love this

[jekjekjeku]

Just great!

[lotsoffun]

so this is how the world ends

[ellmister]

@lotsoffun Honestly. If an alien saw this as the first piece of art we created they'd think we were batshit insane.

[lotsoffun]

@ellmister They would probably destroy our planet, like immediately. I bet musicians in the orchestra were thinking "I payed 80,000 grand to go to a private school, lost countless nights of sleep worrying if I could make it, and practiced 8 hours a day since I was 10 years old . . . for THIS?!?!?"

[PeterTheEvilBastard]

@lotsoffun Fuck mate, this is depressing when you put it like this. People no longer care about skill emerging from hard work, instead they piss themselves over novelty of circumstance. Fucking cats.

[lotsoffun]

@PeterTheEvilBastard yup, ever since the birth of pop music.

[maestrojimbo]

@lotsoffun I can assure you that orchestra musicians don't practice 8 hours a day. Hopefully some have a sense of humor.

[burnellmusic]

@lotsoffun The fact is that the Klaipeda Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Piecaitis, creates and performs a variety of imaginative programing for children and adults. Nora's contribution aside, Piecaitis' composition has been incredibly well received, and CATcerto has been performed fourteen times in five countries.

[BrennyBlues]

@lotsoffun I was thinking that.

[MaRcElOmN1]

is that suppose to be tom? lol

[verdew8181]

animals and music are the finest of life.

[Swordy00]

@TheTripstrapstrull all sound is vibration so all that anyone really cares about when it comes to music is vibration.

[LindaRutule]

I LOVE THIS CAT! so amazing! more than beautiful :)

[Glowyte]

tiesiog nuostabu :)

[sanmartinfields]

@Glowyte o, kaip miela:) aciu. lietuvisku komentaru cia praktiskai kaip ir nebuna:)

[Glowyte]

@sanmartinfields :) bet lietuviai mato - draugė Facebook'e pasidalino, tai užsukau pažiūrėti :)

[andybpiano]

@TheTripstrapstrull Isn't that what music is.... masturbation for the ears? Yes.

[readingisin]

I love this. It challenges the way I think about art.

[JJtoob]

Too bad Fatso isn't alive to see this. :(

[SwanDust]

This is one of the most moving musickal pieces that I have ever heard.... It takes a composer to be very creative, talented AND emotionally sound to create such a beautiful piece like this! Nora is truly a cat who loves to mimic her mother on the piano and Mr. Piecaitis is one of the few who could tap into that connection. To those who are upset/angry about this: You have issues. There is NO logical explanation why something like this can make another angry/upset so spread the angst elsewhere..

[FilmLovers8]

This is called art

[lotsoffun]

@FilmLovers8 No, this is the shit people have to do to get attention from the public. Why do you think our media follows twitter feeds and reports celebrity news all day?

[teken1000]

227 people suck at music, plain and simple.

[sheka216]

i hate to say this but the kitty can play the piao better than most of you screw-ups

[Youtooloader]

oh yes phineastrick is right... this is just bullshit

fucing silly cat

[phineastrick]

This is the silliest thing I have ever seen. That is not music. It's a cat scratching its head and paws on a piano. Animals do not compose music. Nonsense...

[AuntJemima46]

@phineastrick YOU ARE NONSENSE.

[teken1000]

@phineastrick @Youtooloader you probably have no musical talent

[king060384]

awesome kitty!

[qariqris]

1:50 ))) <3



[juankguerra]

I love this piece!!! What a wonderful composition!!!! and great Sync with the video!!! It's amazing. I hope that more composers can "go back to basics".

[GFORCEpackattack]

everyone who cry'd watching this you make me sick

[teken1000]

@GFORCEpackattack you probably have no musical talent, if you play an instrument, witch i am nearly sure don't, you most likely suck ass at it, and play it only to be "cool" and you only use taps or notes because you're not good enough to play things by ear. if you don't play any instrument, then my believes are true and you just suck at music.

[GFORCEpackattack]

i just lost respect for every last musician in this orchestra had some fuck came to me and said were gonna make a whole orchestra piece that wraps around a cat randomly hitting piano keys that are digitaly cut and sliced and no matter how the cat switches up the tunes so will every instrument here switch up there tune i woulda thrown my $1,000 instrument straight at the conductors head and said fuck you im not part of this

[Sniperkag]

@GFORCEpackattack

You must be idiot, indeed.

[TheAmusingBunni]

What a brilliant and adorably kitty!

[bsiong1]

Brilliant piece of work, well done Piecaitis and Nora.

[Phantomchild97]

So cute! I wish my cat did that.

[MrJTSZ]

Idiot's book 2:54 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha XD
