The only solution now is to get her piano lessons so both of their lives can improve.

Every cat has their own unique purrsonality and cute quirks. Some like to sing you the song of their people at precisely 6:47 every meowrning, some will only eat off of a dinner plate instead of their normal food bowls, and some like to be held upside down while being pet. They're weird, and we love them. It's precisely these quirks that make cats so awwdorably lovable. But sometimes, our kitties' passion for their hissterical habits isn't quite so soothing, like our cat below who awakened her purrfect passion for playing the piano.

Purrhaps she is Meowzart reincarnated, purrhaps she's writing her first meowsical, or maybe she just enjoys a simple, discordant tune. Her hooman, however, is not her biggest fan. They claim that the piano purrformances are actually quite disturbing, causing multiple jump-scares daily and frequent fluffy disturbances while watching movies. And now, he's looking for a way to stifle his cat's creative expression.

The internet came through with some meowtrageous solutions (as we expect them to), such as investing in their cat's potential and teaching them to properly play the piano, or try to confine the cat to the bedroom during sleeping hours (we all know how well that's going to work out), or covering the piano in aluminum foil to deter Meowzart from finishing her silly symphony.

Purrsonally, we think they should simply allow their cat to express themselves with their meowsic and learn to love it. It's not every day you see a cat playing the piano. If they really worked for it, they could have a famous internet cat in no time!

    I'll admit that it was very cute and entertaining at first, but at this point, oh my god. She jump scares me multiple times a day by slamming on keys, and wakes me up periodically with her bad music skills. Not to mention how jarring and unpleasant it is when I'm trying to watch a movie. Or awkward to explain when I'm on the phone.

    Usually, she only plays them when getting on and off the piano, but sometimes she just hits them for fun, it seems like. There's no piano cover, nothing I've thought of that I can put on there that she won't knock off, and the aluminum foil thing doesn't work on her.

    I don't mind that the piano is her favorite spot to lay, but how do I get her to use the empty space on the side of the keys, or jump up from the side entirely? Pushing in the stool did not work either.

  • We also don't like being scared, but we think this pawrent should look at this as an incredible opportunity. How many cats willingly play the piano? We're pretty sure you can count them on two hands. If they manage to teach them how to play piano and create a social media account for them, they could make a pawsitive financial leap if it takes off. Who wouldn't want that? A secondary income source without ever having to leave your house - it's like every cat pawrent's dream.

    Distinct-Presen... Do those keys really not have a cover that slides out and sits ontop of them? I've only really had experience with like 7 pianos from the 1800s but all of them had key lids, most would slide into the piano for storage and only 1 would slide out and was ment to be stored in the seat.

    Just measure the area above the keys and get a piece of wood that size. Lid. EDIT: OP has posted a video showing there is in fact no lid. It was most likely not attached and as such was lost. They will probably try and DIY a lid later.

    Unlucky_Equipment628 might not work, but a wood board with a hook attached to the other side would help it not get knocked off

    Naahime Buy a wooden plank, get it cut to the right size in store and put it on. Congrats, you just got yourself a piano cover. A wooden plank won't be expensive either so this is definitely a cost friendly option

    Veratsss Unscrew the cover!! The cover has been secured with those two screws, one on each end of the wood strip next to the keys.

    SleepyZM Solutions from best to worst 1. Get a piano cover (I see you're saying its an old one, I'm sure there are custom solutions out there but may be costly)

    2. Sleep with cat in bedroom, but the fluff might just annoy you more in the bedroom 3. Put some kind of deterrent on the keys (aluminum foil, cat scat mat, or whatever your cat doesnt like) 4. Get him lessons

    torquesteer You've tried nothing and you've ran out of ideas? Well consider this: they keys feel good to her feet and the sounds get your attention. So if there is absolutely no way of covering it up, might as well enjoy the music.

    Fae_Sparrow I had an orange who liked the piano too! Whenever someone would play, he'd show up, start purring and didn't leave until the music stopped. Luckily we had a wooden lid to close the piano, so when he jumped on it, it wasn't noisy.
