Watch Nora the Cat in her soloist role in this piano concerto (YouTube).
Given the popularity of cat videos on the Internet, I suppose it was inevitable a cat would perform a piano concerto. Lithuanian conductor, composer and artist Mindaugas Piecaitis composed and directed the "Catcerto" as it's called for Nora The Piano Cat and orchestra, where Nora, the soloist, was brought in via video.

Joris van der Kamp: "It must be my heatstroke, but this actually made me cry."
Joann Roszman: "I wish mine were that talented. They just eat and sleep."
