Life Imitates Internet: Nora The Piano Cat Playing On The Today Show
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.

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!"

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.......
Score = 0
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.
Score = -1
