Info from Licensor: "The video includes a cat we are fostering. We made a piano that will dispense treats whenever played. This positive reinforcement training allows us to easily teach animals to play the piano. We've now used the piano to teach over a dozen cats, dogs, bunnies and even a racoon to play the piano. As they learn to play, the piano gets progressively more and more difficult so they continue to learn. We've seen such a positive response from the 10 pianos we've made that we're now taking the piano to market and opening up pre-orders for the piano. This particular video was filming in our living room and the hope is that we'll be able to teach a large number of foster cats and dogs to play the piano so that they'll become more 'adoptable' when people see them playing."
