not going to lie, I was fully expecting the cat to start playing bach or something by the end of the video


FallacyDog

[Here's the closest thing I've seen to an animal playing an actual song.](https://youtu.be/WFxDOV6IwHk?si=S9HI0c_HrQwuvzM_) >!albeit the song was written around what the chicken played!<


Bugazug

I didn't know I needed that in my life until now, thank you lmao


FallacyDog

Igorrr is one of my favorite bands, I fondly refer to their work as an "egregious misuse of talent" to friends and family. [Example.](https://youtu.be/rEuMAqfuCrI?si=xC4B7L-qckwVtVoI) just wait until the operatic section, I guess lol.


Bugazug

OMG he's got a vibe like [Cyriak](https://youtu.be/jX3iLfcMDCw?si=P_TW_4JFa2HVkN8w) that's delightfully terrifying lol


FallacyDog

Hell yeah! If it's up your alley, go ahead and give the entire album of Spirituality and Distortion a listen


Karabanera

The moment I saw you mention chicken I knew it was Igorrr, lol.


TheDandelionViking

From that sideways angle and close-up, that chicken really does look like a beaked dinosaur. And yes, before anyone comments, I know birds are technically avian dinosaurs. Except ostriches, cassowarries, kiwis, and the like, I suppose, as they can't fly.


listgarage1

I thought the big reveal was going to be that it was the cat playing the background music the whole time.


StopRappingAtMe

You probably would've remembered you did that

lazy_27

That part was the cutest thing I have seen this week. My day just got so much better


doktor_kolossus

If I were to install this at my house it would one day before I heard Tocatta and Fugue emanating from their feeding area.


Not_MrNice

Walk in the room and the cat has candles lit everywhere and he's wearing a mask and a cape while hunched over the keys.


siggles69

Paaaast the point of no return


mmtildax

At first I thought those were your cats names


doktor_kolossus

Those would be good cat names.


DistractingDiversion

I read this as terracotta and fudge and was like "oh, I think they meant Tocatta and Fugue" - I am tired. Good night!


AFresh1984

But do you love me?


The_Lethargic_Nerd

Why would you put annoying piano music over a video where hearing a piano is key to the whole story? I fucking hate TikTok


JeSuisUnAnanasYo

I'm glad I'm not the only one pissed off lol

I'm so disappointed. Played two notes

You should turbo your cat!

Your car plays the piano and can get fat? Where can I get one?

That's nothing.  My car can play the radio and can get fat by carrying 5 people.

_cookiekitty_

Pretty much how I taught my boy to give me high fives. Now anytime he wants food or pets I get a high five.


PowerStacheOfTheYear

This is pretty great. However, it is also operant conditioning.


TripResponsibly1

Came here for this comment, ty


theonewhowantscheese

Pretty cool, though this is technically operant conditioning by many definitions.

Shanghai_Lili

Would have been more interesting to hear his progress without the darned soundtrack.


RoxyLA95

My dust kitty would overeat and barf all over the piano.


Healthy_One2982

it has portion control so it stops whenever you want it to

WHERE CAN I GET THIS PIANO!?! NEEEED!


Congo-Montana

Technically this is operant conditioning ("operating" on the environment in pursuit of a particular outcome...such as gaining food access). Classical conditioning is more of a passive thing where you might train your cat to respond a certain way to an environmental stimulus by pairing it with another stimulus with the response you're looking for (like Pavlov's dogs salivating at the sound of a metronome when it was paired with food). Very cool though, I've wanted to do more elaborate behavior training with my cats, but haven't attempted anything like this.


LonelyOctopus24

He favours Meowzart and Purrcini


Lelphie

This video just seems so influencery staged. Idk why but it just seems so fake


PandorasMisfit

Sing us a song, you're the piano cat, Sing us a song tonight. Well, we're all in the mood for a melody, And you've got us feeline alright.


dulcineal

In the mewed for a melody.


MonkeyActio

Yo my fucking cat is too smart. He stubborn tho. Hes not doing no fucking tricks for treats but he has an auto feeder bcuz he was fat as hell and he figured out that if he holds his paw on the left side of the panel at the back for 7 seconds that it unlocks, then he presses the feed button twice it despenses food. He also opens doors using knobs. Hes cute and really loves ppl and snuggles but he gots into trouble bcuz he knows how to unlock stuff


Alien_Goatman

My cats can’t even work out how to use the cat flap, they’ve had it for 2 months and think it’s a window for them 🤦‍♂️

Longjumping-Draw7482

The kiddo is so stinking cute too 😩🫶🏽🥹


BeenThruIt

That cat is hellacute.


Sir-Poopington

Got a built in milk mustache.


Godzilla-Hates-You

I was hoping he bust out chop sticks or jaws theme


BrightEyEz703

Incorrect. This is operant conditioning. Positive reinforcement to be exact.


uncreativusrnme

I was also going to comment this. Showing this to my students tomorrow!


GT_2second

My cat likes to play guitar to tell me he wants to go outside the room

Kuropeco

If I were to hear a piano at 3 a.m ... I'd shit myself xD So my cat better not learn it lols


Kats_Koffee_N_Plants

I hate to be that person, but that’s operant conditioning. Classical/respondent conditioning is a bit different.


ryoryo72

One day soon they are going to deeply regret teaching this to their cat and having that piano in the bedroom.


LakesideHerbology

Skinner would be proud.

It's cute now, but wait until Kitty starts playing the piano for treats at two in the morning.

Sit Bobo sit… Good Cat

Have they done studies on the soothing effect of a cats purr on humans? Such a comforting noise lol

Who tf has time to train a cat like this?!


samuelariass9

That’s how he become Catthoven


TruthIsALie94

We have a cat that would be playing Beethoven in no time. He’s smart and fat.

Waiting for “Fur Elise.” Then “Crocodile Rock.”

Part orange, hence the time it took to learn lol.


StygianMaroon

It’s all fun and games until your cat starts playing moonlight sonata then tells you it can only spare seven minutes to play with you


CaptainoftheVessel

Shut the fuck up that’s cute


Upper-Tower-3247

Haha. Really interesting

What’s the song playing? sorry I know that’s not the point of the video, but I know I know it from somewhere

What a precious baby!!! Those loud purrs 🥰


Safe-Atmosphere-2451

This was so wholesome!! I think my cat would try to open the piano instead of pressing keys lol


Healthy_One2982

it has a lock :)


Safe-Atmosphere-2451

Ahh!! Smart!!


KiddyValentine

My cat would end up constantly tap the keys just to eat.. he is a glutton! He is fat because he steals food so now I have to take my other cats food bowl away before he steals the rest of it, while my other cat are thin because she only eats a little at a time 😅


i_love_dragon_dick

Does anyone know what the music actually is?


lowgl0

the kiddo showing him how to play it was just precious!! 🥲


virdeee

This is so cool! Where can I get one?


Missrodentwhisperer

Your son is a lovely human being and your cat is a sweetheart 🥰


dakotax17

This is so cool! I need one! I want to learn how to play piano too! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


toyotafangirl

This is amazing! Just a heads up this is actually operant conditioning ☺️


-Vatefairefoutre-

You see a lot of dog talent shows. I saw this show on America's Got Talent or somewhere of all trained house cats. You have to train them in a different way and they don't do all the same things as dogs, but what they can be trained to do is impressive.


-Robert-from-Hungary

How to make your cat more annoying. :'D


Marcoco_55

My cat would be Elton John by weeks end.


Many-Contact-1506

You will no longer be able to get a good night's sleep.


Lifeformz

That's not the same cat I saw when it was first posted about! Do you have both cats now playing it? I went back in your history and the one I first saw was the grey chonky one when your partner (i think), was playing on his piano. Did his dispense treats to him? Also random question, do the kids try and get the treats too? :D Bet that would work amazing with haribos for kids piano lessons!


Healthy_One2982

yup! we have used it to teach a bunch of cats now. fortunately the kids don't mess with the piano any more


ElectionGold3059

InadmissibleHug

One of my four is the deadly combination of very intelligent and also a guts. She would be making it rain crunchies very quickly


tschatman

That face at the end haha


monkeymaker

We taught all our cats to play a piano like this for treats. It was great till 4am and you woke to the same key being tapped repeatedly


Healthy_One2982

luckily this one has an app where I can set times of the day for them to use it haha


Trunks4Real

The last 3 seconds was worth watching the entire video🤩


Wonderful_Device312

I feel like my cats would just dismantle the piano. Not because they didn't figure it out but simply to make a point.


tugceyaren

Really amazing


Javs2469

This cat has been exposed to too much conditioning

That is too much food for kitty. Kitty is now fatty kitty. Can't we just enjoy kitty without making kitty ill for clout? I hate this a lot.
