1. Wow! what a talented cat

2. when a cat can play better than you 🙁

3. I first noticed my cat Marseille loved jazz was everytime I put the jazz station on the radio she would immediately come to the area of the radio and stay there. At first I thought it was music in general. It seems to be jazz music that she adores listening to. She changes her mood and will sit on her cat perch near the radio and listen for a couple hours. She does not respond to other styles of music like jazz.

4. What was the guy called? Dr. Herman Bumenlytits?

5. Dr. Herman Bobalitits

6. It's copy-monkey in Asia.

7. annnnnnnnd most important, name of the catmusic CD or artist in the description ???? Hello BBC are you guys journalists? if yes then where are all the sources ?

8. Remarkable, very intelligent souls are cats

9. l love cats

10. cool

11. When I noticed my female cat seemed to calm down every time I played Edith Piaf songs, I thought I was crazy. But the empiric evidence was overwhelming, and I'm really happy to confirm my hypothesis now 😀

12. My cat likes drum & bass.

13. Looks much more interesting than Pixars Cocoa

14. not gonna lie i actually play orchestra with my cat when i play minecraft xD

16. "Music for Cats and Friends: Vol. 1"….straight up fire ??

17. crazy cat lady

18. I was expecting something more

19. the title say Nora the piano

20. I like some of the science and theory in these videos and I of course like the cats and their enthusiastic owners, but I am a little annoyed by the lack of effort made to distinguish science from wishful speculation.

    Everything Betsy says seems of the latter category. Cats being visual learners, copying behavior, and the piano being used to gain attention — none of that is (literally) evident. Fortunately, the next video goes into actual scientific theory for the behavior, but, for the education of the viewers, it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more critical in the presentation of the material in my opinion.

21. Perhaps a bit more of the cat playing the piano and a bit less of 'everything else' …

22. I need my cat to play piano lol

23. now compose music that a cat can actually play. something that would only require the use of two paws.

24. I had a cat, Maya, who's now departed, who simply loved opera. She'd sit in front of the hifi for hours on end and listen attentively to my CDs. Other cats I've had were not that musical.

25. WE NOW HAVE…THE TECHNOLOGY…THAT ALLOWS SPIDERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH CATS!

26. Hmm…could Nora be related to Tom, i wonder.

27. I calz dis won, "fuud bol iz mt"

28. My cat is so boring. All she wants is a place to eat and sleep. She rarely shows any affection towards her family, but she has such a good home.

29. where's the control for this experiment? maybe the cat's just start to relax as time passes in the room.

    also the word copycat didn't come from cats imitating behaviour, cats don't usually do that. cat was used as slang in 17th century America to mean a person with poor qualities, e.g. copy-cat.

30. that cat's 100% asian

31. the cat is like my piano

32. This made me want to buy a cat…..

33. That woman was wrong about the origin of the word copycat. "Unlike monkeys and parrots, cats aren't actually known for imitative behavior, but the term is somewhat logical since "cat" has been an insult since the medieval period".

34. I love BBC Earth it's so interesting! That's what I love about it xD 🙂

35. animals are connected to the higher self, they have no ego, it just flows. phi golden ratio is maths which is music
