Ladies and gentlemen,

as you seems to be real friends of cats, I would like to introduce some musical instruments of interest for you.

There have been some cunning instrument makers, who have constucted organs and pianos, which operate by means of the feline voices. "---we might want to look at the cat piano. Athanasius Kircher first wrote about it in his great *Musurgia universalis* of 1650, --- a musician created for him a cat piano. The musician selected cats whose natural voices were at different pitches and arranged them in cages side by side, so that when a key on the piano was depressed, a mechanism drove a sharp spike into the appropriate cat's tail. The result was a melody of meows that became more vigorous as the cats became more desperate."

Please take a closer look to the following links:
