Training Tips
If you would like train your cat to play the piano, Lampert offers the following tips:

  • Pick the right treat to reward your cat. It has to be a treat that your cat loves, not just likes.
  • Offer the treat right after your cat hits a piano key. "There is a learning curve," she explains. "Your cat has to associate hitting the piano keys with earning a treat."
  • After a piano recital, pick up your cat and give a big hug and kiss. Let your pet know how talented and special it is.

The Web is now full of Nora and Schmaltzy wannabes, with their owners seeking to earn their own fame and fortune. It's important to remember, however, to always put the interests of the cat first instead of focusing solely on transforming kitty into the next YouTube sensation.
