Professional pianist couple adopts cat who joins them every time they sit down to practice, even demanding purrfect performances to fall asleep: 'He gets angry when we play the wrong note'

This cat must have been a meowsician or a meowstro in his past life because his love for the piano music his pawrents play is simply harmonious. He knows when they're going to practice and will beat them to the piano, relaxing for hours while they serenade him with songs.

Cats never cease to ameowze us. Just when you think you've seen it all, from floofy fluffballs that look like living feather dusters to mama cats working at hardware stores, they go and do something out of left field you never saw coming. Purrhaps they're evolving, or maybe this cat in our story really just found his purrfect family to satisfy his unique and pawsitively melodic tastes.

Animals have been known to enjoy the occasional reggae song or relax to a Bach concerto, but this kitty takes it to a whole new level. His pawrents are purrfessional pianists, and he loves their playing so much that he will literally sleep on the piano while his pawrents play. You'll see below how he sleeps with his stuffed rat in between his paws, mouth open, safely in honk-shoo land while both his pawrents pound on the keys, purracticing for their upcoming show. We've truly never seen anything like it.

They describe something hissterical as well, they say that "he will get angry if we play the wrong note", which means that he must recognize the pieces to some extent. That's honestly incredible. We can barely remember what we had for breakfast, and this kitty can remember classic concertos.

We never once assumed that cats were simple creatures, but this video just confirms that there's more to these fluffy felines than meets the hooman eye. And, as cute as this is, we have to wonder, will they have to play him a lullaby to fall asleep every night? So much for cats being low maintenance!

Cats are the most judgmental animals out there. So, if they can get their fluffy feline to enjoy their meowsic, then they've already passed a very high bar. It's like purrforming at difficulty level 100 from the get-go. Everyone says that they are their own worst critic, but those people have clearly never interacted with a cat for more than 10 minutes.

There's nothing cuter than when a cat hugs one of their toys like a kid. It's the cutest thing in the whole universe. It just confirms the fact that cats are actually babies, specifically our babies. It activates our maternal/paternal instinct, well, instinctually. They are our children.
