The Pussy Piano Company of Chicago Illinois did not succeed with their patented Pussy Piano. A direct rival of the famous Steinway Piano company they sought to compete with the pricey pianos that were very hard to play. Taking a unique idea of having kittens placed in a box where a needle would penetrate the kitty anus when the proper keys were played. This would result in sound that was quite unique at much lower cost than the expensive Steinway grand pianos.
It was said that it was a great favorite of the famous singer Enrico Caruso but that attributed to the fact that he was insanely appreciative of pussy.
