Nora the piano cat inspires new composition

A piano playing cat has had a special piece of music written for her by an acclaimed classical conductor.

Mindaugas Piecaitis from Lithuania says he was amazed when he saw a YouTube video of Nora playing the piano.

In the clips - which have been watched by over 20 million people - Nora sits in front of a piano and strikes the keys with her paws, apparently enjoying the sounds she makes.

Mindaugas initially wanted to feature Nora in a performance by the Klaipeda chamber orchestra, but then decided to write and original work inspired by her.

The orchestra spent days rehearsing the four minute piece 'CATcerto' ahead of purr-forming it live, but when they did, it was the cats whiskers. Watch the video after the link.
