Internet cat sensation Nora draws composer to Philly from Europe
Daniel Rubin, Inquirer Columnist
The Lithuanian composer had traveled six time zones to meet his muse, but Nora the Cat was in no particular mood to play.
She was sitting at the bench in her Center City rowhouse when Mindaugas Piecaitis walked in the door Friday evening. She looked at him with no interest, then returned to her reflection in the shiny black case of the Yamaha grand piano that has earned her such fame.
"I think I'm dreaming," the composer said, approaching her gently.
Piecaitis sat down at the keyboard next to Nora's and played three notes with his left hand. No response.
"I will leave her just sitting," he said.
Another cat approached - Max, who has issues with Nora - and when the composer stroked him, that is when Nora decided she would perform.
She hunched forward and extended her right front paw over the keyboard.
She tapped four notes.
Then she settled back down on the bench, stretching her generous gray tabby frame. Enough playing.
