Thank you, Anne, for the wonderful card…

I just love to receive mail from my many friends and fans. The image below is from a card sent to me by Anne M. from the Philadelphia area. No doubt she was inspired to pick this particular card by my recent “collaboration” with the Conductor/Composer Mindaugas Piecaitis. You can read more about that collaboration at the following links (#1 link also includes a video from the Balticum News):

Balticum News on Mindaugas Piecaitis/Nora Collaboration…

Here’s a Balticum News presentation on the “CATcerto” composed and conducted by Mindaugas Piecaitis with me (Nora the Piano Cat) as soloist. The video, which includes interviews with Piecaitis and orchestra members, now has English subtitles. A video of the entire performance is being prepared for release.

CATcerto performed in Lithuania!!

Mindaugas Piecaitis’ CATcerto was performed and recorded on June 5th in Lithuania by the Klaipeda Chamber Orchestra. The soloist was none other than yours truly, Nora the Piano Cat. Well, I performed on a giant video screen behind the orchestra. Mindaugas worked with video clips of me provided by my humans, Betsy and Burnell. He then wrote the orchestra’s part to play along with and opposite me. Mindaugas conducted. I can’t wait to see the video of the performance. It will be posted as soon as we receive it.

Encore Presentation of Nora on Animal Planet - Sunday, May 24th at 4 PM…

My dear fans, if you missed me the last time around, Animal Planet is presenting the program again. That’s right. Outrageous Animals will be aired again on Sunday, May 24th at 4 PM. Hope you enjoy it.

Mindaugas Piecaitis debuts “Catcerto” in Lithuania on June 5th, 2009…

On April 15th, Lithuanian conductor Mindaugas Piecaitis contacted my humans, Betsy and Burnell, about a project idea he had regarding composing a piece of music based on my piano playing. His idea was to project video of me playing and then to have a chamber orchestra play along with and opposite me. Well, Mindaugas’ idea has become a reality. The piece is titled "Catcerto." It will be performed in Lithuania on June 5th, 2009. Here’s a link to the online program. The listing for the "Catcerto" is near the end of the list of performances.

Saturday, May 2nd at 10 pm EST…

I’m gonna be on Outrageous Animals on Animal Planet. Hope you can tune in. The show airs at 10 pm EST on Saturday, May 2nd.

SMTV sending a crew for an interview on Thursday…

Evelyn Redcross of SMTV (Supreme Master Television - http://www.suprememastertv.com/) wants to interview me and Betsy for a segment they will air on their satellite channel. And I think it will be on their website, as well. The interview is happening this Thursday, April 30th. What a busy week for me. I’ll let everyone know when that airs. And maybe I can get Burnell to snap a photo of me with Evelyn for the blog. Wish me luck.

Animal Planet’s “Cats 101″ coming to film me…

Yep. Another Animal Planet show, this one called “Cats 101,” will feature yours truly. Powderhouse Productions is coming on Monday, April 27th, to do the filming for the segment. I’ll let you all know how that goes, and I’ll keep you posted on an air date for the actual episode.

Nora On A Diet!

Well, not really a diet, but Burnell and Betsy decided that an intervention in the form of a feeding schedule change was necessary. The old schedule wasn’t really a schedule at all. Science Diet dry food was simply made available all day for me and my five siblings. None of them have a weight problem, but it was becoming obvious that I did. I guess you could say I’m kind of an all-day nibbler. So, now the food bowls go down twice a day for half an hour. It may take some getting used to, but I know it’s for the best. I only hope my siblings don’t hold it against me. (Click thumbnail to view a larger me.)

Nora on Animal Planet - Coming in May 2009

Just a quick heads up: I’ll be “Animal Planet’s Most Outrageous” tentatively set to air on Saturday, May 2nd at 10 pm (EST). If for any reason they change the air date, I’ll let you know here and on my FaceBook page. Hope you can tune in.
