Nora the cat’s playing is rather primitive, but given her lack of musical training and opposable thumbs, she does quite well. Here you can watch a video of Nora playing duets with others (people rather than cats). Her attention span is short, but she appears to practice regularly and diligently, working alongside her owner’s students to hone her musical skills. Nora’s talent has spawned a broad array of copycat videos, including Sugar the Pianist Cat and many others.
Not all cats can be virtuosos, but many cats have other marketable skills. In the past, cat careers were limited to rat catcher and foot-warmer. Happily, in this day and age, cats can be circus performers, dance partners or even train station attendants.
