As a cat-person and a cellist, I am so happy to see and hear this wonderful musical offering. Many thanks to all: Nora, her humans, the conductor/composer of the orchestral music, Mindaugas Piecaitis, and to the orchestra–and also to Betsy’s student who performed the piano duet with Nora. You are all dear hearts. Many thanks!!!

The “Catcerto” is one of the most endearing performance I have seen and it is such a inspiring performance. I would venture to say that it would be good to put this up before you go to bed and have sweet dreams.
Fantastic performance. Keep it up

I absolutely concur with Maria Adamantidis; Mr. Miecaitis did a beautiful job in scoring his piece of orchestral music around Nora’s playing. I’m forwarding the link of the YouTube performance to all my cat- and music-loving friends. It’s ingenious and delightful. Bravo! Encore!

My cousin who lives in the States forwarded the catcerto to me today and I was simultaneously moved, delighted and amazed. Mindaugas Piecaitis did a wonderful job in composing this elegant accompaniment to Nora’s playing. Congratulations from Greece to all concerned!

As a cat lover, I believe Nora is truly special, but I’m in awe at Mr. Mindaugas’s beautiful composition to accompany her. He perfectly edited and arranged her separate solos to match his music, and likewise composed his concerto to perfectly match her “notes.” The mood he created,in my opinion, is primarily one of melancholy and longing, but with playfulness in the middle section, which is appropriate for her. It all comes together perfectly, and pushes all my buttons about the bonds between people and these wonderful companions. I will always love it and am hoping to purchase it on CD.

This is a beautiful and touching piece of modern music. I would love to have a recording of it! And I will check out composer Mindaugas Piecaitis’ works as well. So sweet!

I’ve seen Nora play piano, but to see this Catcerto was just the best way to enjoy her playing. I love how she prefers the higher notes. Cats make the best pets anyway, and a piano playing cat with obvious human “pitch” is just precious. I wish Betsy, Nora and her family all the best and I wish Mindaugas Piecaitis ALL the best in her musical career. The man truly knows what people want to hear. Wish he could come to America on tour!
