My cat and piano duel in a London Spectator tale
A bemused London Spectator fragment describes a blue Permian cat that resists a pianist owner. The cat climbs on the player and paws at hands, prompting treatises on rational behavior and a chair duet solution. The piece ends with a quip about a dying wiser man and a silver dollar test from the Buffalo Times.
