Nora the Piano-Playing Cat Releases Song and CD

Over 4,000,000 people have seen her playing on YouTube, now she can be heard playing piano on Nora’s Song on the lead song of her new Laurel Canyon Animal Company CD –Cat On The Keys.

Skip Haynes and Dana Walden of the L.A. based Laurel Canyon Animal Company (the only record label creating music about, for and with animals) utilized Nora’s special musical talents in Nora’s Song – a unique human/feline musical collaboration.

When Skip and Dana saw Nora on YouTube, they immediately contacted Nora’s guardians, artists and musicians Betsy Alexander and Burnell Yow! with the idea of signing Nora to their label. Nora became Laurel Canyon Animal Company’s first and only feline recording artist. Listen to her tasty licks on Nora’s Song and purr along with 10 other tracks that are Nora’s favorites.

Nora was adopted as a kitten in 2004 from a cat shelter in Cherry Hill, NJ. Her parents, Betsy Alexander and Burnell Yow!, are artists and musicians who live in Philadelphia. As a kitten, Nora showed an immediate interest in the piano during Betsy's lessons with her many private students. One day Nora jumped up on the piano bench, sat in perfect posture with both paws on the keys, and began to play notes. She was just a year old. She has played almost every day since then, and loves to play duets with Betsy's students.

From the same company that brought you the musical CDs - Songs To Make Dogs Happy, I’m A Green Chicken, Fine Animal Gorilla, Bring An Animal Home For The Holidays, Ugly Dogs Need More Love and Music From The Pink Dolphins.
Cat On The Keys will delight cat lovers and Nora fans everywhere.

The Laurel Canyon Animal Company donates to rescue organizations to help them fund operations.
