Absolutely hilarious piece on BBC radio yesterday (audio here, around 49:15) about a “cat organ” recital for Prince Charles at a London eco-festival. The instrument is a row of  16 “model” (or maybe “modal”) cats, “each of [which] is capable of meowing, within reasonable tolerances, of a two-octave diatonic scale,” according to cat maestro Henry Dagg.

After assuring listeners that no cats were harmed in the making of the instrument, Beeb presenter Claire Bolderson says to Dagg:

“And what do you do, you squeeze the cat, do you?”

As with so much BBC material, it’s priceless. At least Prince Charles thought so.
