There was just no way on earth I was going to let this one
slide by without mentioning it... Enjoy!

Via Gizmodo.

Chill out, PETA. The cat piano was the work of a German scholar over 350 years ago. Athanasius Kircher designed the cat 
piano and documented it in the Musurgia Universalis in 1650. The piano was designed to raise the spirits of an Italian 
prince who was too stressed out.

The musician would select cats whose voices were at different pitches then arrange them in the pens accordingly. The 
piano delivered sharp pokes into the tails of the cats.

Cruel? Definitely. Funny? Yeah, a little bit.
