Nora, the piano playing cat, was on the Today Show this morning.

As usual, Natalie Morales with the tough questions: some cynics might wonder if you put catnip on the keys? As we all know, when it comes to making viral videos of cats putting their paws on instruments and making a random jumble of completely meaningless sounds come out, there is NO CHEATING. What is even happening in this clip? She mortgaged her house to pay for that piano, which has a computer in it? When you pass a mirror you have to look in it? Humans ruin everything.

  1. I was expecting Keyboard Cat. I was sorely disappointed.

  2. she needs a massage after that.

  3. That guy holding Nora at the beginning is awesome!

  4. Who’s the best cat in the United States? It’s you Nora, Nora. It’s you.

  5. The cat’s not watching her reflection, she’s trying to tell her owner, “shut up, you’re stealing my thunder”.

  6. Dig that Philly cat swing! (I’m hep, no?)

  7. What was that? I watched all of that waiting for that cat to bust out the Keyboard Cat song or at least Rhapsody in Blue, but no. Just a bunch of stuffy heads talking. C’mon Internet.

  8. “Humans ruin everything.”
    Truer words are rarely spoken.

  9. Perhaps they forgot to massage her first.

  10. Hey guys! How come it’s only safe to zing Meredith(?) when she’s not there, but we zing Bernell(?) right to his face? Come on!!

  11. The cat just finished a book, you guys. It’s full of her philosophy! They’re just looking for the right publish– BANG.

  12. Matt Lauer’s mind vacillates between two inner voices:

    “I can’t believe this is where I’ve come, years of reporting and I end up interviewing cats who play piano.”

    and

    ” I can’t believe how much they pay me for this shit. Ca Ching!”

  13. Nora the cat is the feline equivalent of Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. It’s just a retard banging on a piano and I am not impressed.

  14. You know you’ve made it when you’re ghostwriting a book for your e-famous cat.

  15. I bet it demands warmed Fancy Feast in a Waterford Crystal dish sprinkled with cat nip and a milk martini before it will even THINK about getting on stage.

  16. I love how they are calling her a diva at the beginning while she is being held by the old guy with the ZZ Top beard.

    how has nobody yet made a video of keyboard cat playing her off? i would, but i’m not good with the youtubes.

  19. Matt Lauer often rehearses his no-bullshit hard-line delivery at such opportune moments such as these. He especially enjoys cutting in during uncomfortable overzealous laughing.
    What exactly is he playing there, indeed…….

    hahaha your insight so reflects reality that it makes me laugh. What’s with this cat? Okay she’s cute, but she’s not the total piano genius that we all expect her to be. Okay she can put her toes on a key or two, fine, big deal.
