Nora The Piano CatA New Year is a great time for a Nora calendar. And these calendars are extra special because you can order one at any time of year. They are printed on demand and you can specify which month you’d like to start on. Order one for yourself, or give as gifts. Check them out by clicking here.
Now’s the time to order your calendar for 2017, and I’ve got six to choose from – all about me. Who else, right? Anyway, they’re all beautiful and five of them feature wonderful photos of me shot by my purrsonal assistants, Burnell and Betsy. And one of them features twelve amazing artworks by my fans. That’s the Nora-Inspired Art Calendar. The twelve were the winners in this years Nora-Inspired Art Contest. All ages and all media were allowed. Some really beautiful art, if I do say so myself. And, of course, I do. How could they not be when you start a cat like…well, you get the point. Cool thing is, you can order your calendar to start on any month. So, if you don’t want to wait till January, 2017, you can order it to start in November or December of this year. How cool is that?

I know this took longer than expected, or at least longer than I expected. Burnell says he’s just had a lot on his plate. I reminded him of exactly who he worked for, and who was responsible for the food on that plate. Well, it seems to have lit a small fire under him, because here it is: “A Victorian Salon: Featuring Nora The Piano Cat.” I picked 12 of my favorite photos and Burnell transformed them on the computer to resemble works of art, which is not all that hard seeing that I’m pretty much a work of art just as I am.
The whole Victorian-themed thing was his idea. He told me about the salons that avantgarde artists during the time of Oscar Wilde would organize to show their work. They would hold these salons at various homes and pretty much take over a wall or several and hang their works from floor to ceiling. There was live music and food and plenty to drink, as well as much conversation, heated debate, and laughter. In keeping with the period, Burnell placed each image of me in an ornate golden frame and displayed them on background patterns just like the fancy wallpaper of the time. I hope you like it.

Last year, B&B bought a lovely red Honda CRV after their beloved Toyota Camry developed a crack in the cylinder block – whatever that is. Cadence, key and arpeggio I know. Cylinder block? Not a clue. Of course, I know it has something to do with a car, but cars are important to me only in that they deliver me to the vet for my twice yearly physical. So, you can imagine how much I absolutely adore the car.
Anyway, B&B seem to require it, so they bought it. And for over a year it has been parked or been driven to the vet or to flea markets, art shows, trips to the country, shopping for cat food, etc., and all the time it has had a decorative license plate on the front advertising the place where it was purchased. Isn’t that kind of like wearing your t-shirt inside out? Not that I would ever wear a t-shirt, mind you, even though a few fans have expressed an interest in dressing me up.
Well, finally B&B wised up and decided to advertise something really worth advertising – me! Now, wherever they drive to, no matter how far, I will always be the first to arrive. That’s kind of neat. (Click the photo to view it larger.)
But before you start thinking that maybe you’d like a Nora The Piano Cat decorative plate on the front of your car, beware that some States require a regular license plate, front and back. And some cars don’t have a plate holder on the front. You definitely need a plate holder to screw the aluminum plate to.
According to Cafepress, the following States require a regular State-issued license plate on both the front and the back of your car: WA, OR, ID, WY, MONT., ND, SD, MN, WI, NE, IA, IL, MO, CO, UT, NV, CA, TX, OH, VA, NY, NH, VT, ME, CT, NJ, RI, DC, HI, AK, MD.
If you are lucky enough to live in one of the other States (not on the list above), and you have a plate holder on the front of your car, and you would like me keeping my eyes on the road ahead as you travel through this magnificent land, you can get your very own Nora The Piano Cat aluminum decorative plate on the Raven’s Wing Studio online shop.
We all like things that are interactive, right? Like playing an instrument, for instance. Well, Sprint just created an interactive app called Kitty Chorus. The app contains loops from parts of various YouTube cat videos. You can then click on them to play the loops of your choice to create your own mix. It’s really a lot of fun. And very rhythmic! And best of all, I’m right in the middle of it playing my piano riff (that is if you click on me, and I hope you do). I’m in the second row, third from the left. You can even record your special mix. Have fun.

Keep an eye out for the upcoming details and contest rules. They’ll be posted here and on Facebook.
