The Popular Culture Cat…

Nora The Piano Cat

Edge City Comic StripAs you know, I have been referenced in the comics before and by such television icons as Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, David Letterman, and Ellen Degeneres. I’ve even been the subject of a skit on Conan O’Brien where, I might add, he used a look-alike as a stand-in cat. And I made a brief video appearance on the hit TV show Cougar Town. I’ve also been the answer to a game show question and I’ve ended up in a couple of textbooks. Most recently I was referenced in the syndicated comic strip Edge City by Terry and Patty Leban. I guess you could say that popular culture has welcomed me with open arms.

What’s next? A guest host spot on SNL? Well, since I don’t travel more than a hundred feet from my beloved grand piano, that’s unlikely, but perhaps one day I’ll be offered my own show. I can hear the announcer now: “And here she is, Philly’s Phavorite Pheline: Nora The Piano Cat.” Well, a girl can dream, can’t she?

I am purring so loudly right now. Hey, Oprah. How about sharing a cover with yours truly?

Licensing Properties to Watch…says trendcentral.com

Well, apparently I caught the attention of The Intelligence Group’s trendcentral.com. According to an article on their website, I am one of five “licensing properties to watch.” You can read the article by clicking HERE.

Licensing International Expo in New York in June…

Nora The Piano Cat

The licensing agency Burnell & Betsy signed with, Moxie & Company, will be representing me with cool video and a great poster at the Licensing International Expo 2008 in New York at the Jacob Javits Convention Center from June 10-12. If you can make it, stop by the booth (#4725) and introduce yourself to Laura Becker, I guess you’d call her my agent. Betsy will also be there one of the days (not sure which one). I’ll be staying home to practice.

It's official! I'm a catporation…

Nora The Piano Cat

Carefree NoraYep. My human’s, Burnell and Betsy, have formed the NORA THE PIANO CAT, LLC. I’m not sure exactly what that means. But it sure sounds important. Maybe the "LLC" stands for "lovely, little cat."

I know there’s a book, or even books, in the works, and many other fun creative things to come. It makes me very happy to know my fame can be used to get a message out about music and creativity, and about animal intelligence and adoption.

Don’t forget, you can use the "Email Me When Blog Is Updated" sign up field in the sidebar to make sure you always know what I’m up to.
