Content

In the 17th century, Athanasius Kircher described an instrument that we humans have had an intense fascination with, either for it's taboo nature, or because we just think it's the funniest thing on the planet.

In this video, we explore the cat piano and ask the question...is it even practical to make one?

And yes, before anybody asks, this entire video was just an excuse for me to make a funny video with my cat. Sue me! I betcha still learned something, though.

Love,

Adam

The Cat Piano | Morose Delectation and Music

In the 17th century, Athanasius Kircher described an instrument with which we humans have had an intense and abiding fascination. Why? Well, it's either for its taboo nature, or because we just think it's the funniest thing on the planet. In this video, we explore the cat piano and ask the question...is it even practical to make one?
