And sadly people today still find humour in being cruel to animals.

 

[AgentSanchez]

When it's 350 years old, yes, I can find humor in this.

 

[MissBlu]

Super creepy... and wrong, even if it is really old

 

[Kiera]

^^^yes, thank you

 

[Cheap Ego]

I bet you could play a killer rendition of the Meow Mix theme song on that thing.

 

[AgentSanchez]

Lol

Or that Xmas cat jingle Much Music used to play in the 80's.

This guy should be put in the same cat-egory as the guy who let his cat balloon to 22" waist, and the Japanese woman who breastfeeds cats.

No wonder people think cat people are CRAZY! Wakka-waaaka!

lol.... this guy is WAAAAY beyond them.. Here's a quote about Kircher from some website (fansite???).

"To illustrate his belief in the magnetic relationship between the sun and the vegetable kingdom, Kircher designed this heliotropic sunflower clock by attaching a sunflower to a cork and floating it in a reservoir of water."

I bet you that in 350 years, people of the future will look back at us and think, "hey, that cat piano was pretty funny 700 years ago"

You want passion1? I'LL GIVE YOU PASSION!

MEeeOOOOWWW!

 

[PRIMAL]

that's cruel, but hilarious and ingenious

but why didn't the guy just get a real piano and get someone to play some polka-esque music

that always picks me up when i'm feeling meloncholic

 

[KiFe]

To be more humane, they could have simply designed a cat-accordian which compresses the felines into producing the proper tones, as opposed to having a spike on a hammer tied to the keys.

 

[AgentSanchez]

Kind of reminds me of the bonsai kittens site... I wonder if the cat piano was ever actually constructed?

 

[annec]

Aww, just think, bonsai kitty would take so little space in a cramped Japanese apartment.
