Winslow the tabby cat has attracted online attention after it was discovered that he\u2019s a talented pianist.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winslow the pianist cat.<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, not exactly, but he does put on a show every time he wants food, attention, or his litter tray changed, his owner says.<\/p>\n

Seven year old Winslow used to be noisy and needy, all until his owner, Kate, gave him his own tiny piano to play on whenever he needed something.<\/p>\n

Kate says she adopted him young, after she saw him in a fight with a dog in her cousins back garden.<\/p>\n

The 29 year old said: \u201cHe used to run around screaming all the time and I was like, \u201cthis is no good\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe piano is another way to communicate, so he\u2019s not screaming bloody murder.\u201c<\/p>\n

Speaking about adopting the kitten, she said:\u00a0\u201cHe was a rambunctious kitten and he\u2019s transformed into a chaotic gentlemen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was scarred up, covered in dirt, we had to teach him how to eat dry food and he had a serious case of ringworm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinslow started showing interest in the piano when he was a kitten, playing the notes and looking underneath trying to find where they were coming from.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt became some kind of hunting reward because he can\u2019t do much in the apartment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe tends to only play it when we\u2019re in the kitchen and he knows he can possibly get a snack.\u201d<\/p>\n

However it\u2019s not just food that he plays for, he also uses his pianist skills to get cuddles and attention from his owner.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe uses the piano to express himself in general, for attention, to get his litter scooped,\u201d Kate said.<\/p>\n
