The ASPCA has awarded their Cat of the Year Award to a grey tabby named Nora from Philadelphia, PA. Of course, this is a rescue cat. She is also a piano playing and You Tube sensation. From the ASPCA website about Nora:
When Betsy Alexander and Burnell Yow visited an animal shelter in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, they never imagined they would adopt a feline prodigy. Nora is a five-year-old gray tabby, whose special piano-playing skills quickly became a YouTube sensation, drawing more than 15 million page views and inspiring a Lithuanian composer to arrange a symphony in her honor. Nora is a talented example of how shelter pets—far from being castoffs—often make the best animal companions.

Please rescue a dog or cat if you can. You never can tell what talents they will have and each one is special. It will make you happy and the animal will be forever grateful.
