Cat Playing a Theremin: and, What's a Theremin?!

36 seconds of feline curiosity, recorded on video.

Although I appreciate the investigative cat, my favorite individual in the video is the cameo appearance of the cat on the floor.

Theremin: Leon Theremin's 1920 invention was a sort of great-grandfather to the synthesizer. It was also very hard to play, and dropped out of sight. More at "Musical Dictionary: T".

After seeing this video, perhaps the Theremin failed to gain popularity because non-human musicians were not considered in the 20s.
