Today, I bought a cat. Somehow that cat is now stuck inside my antique piano. I have to break the piano to get her out. FML
outthelabyrynth tells us more.
Okay, maybe break the piano was a bit of a drastic solution. It's really heavy and my dad got it as a gift from one of his patients, so I'm not really familiar with the thing. It's really old and out of tune, we do get it tuned once in a while, but it doesn't make any difference. We are trying to find someone who's interested in it, since we don't use it anymore, and for that reason we had placed the piano in a side part of the house. I'm a responsible cat owner and I know that when you get a new cat you have to let it get used to your house room by room. Unfortunately for us, it was the piano room... I still have no idea how she got in, since the piano is a really massive thing, no holes or stuff like that. We had to take of the front (which also happens when it gets tuned) to get her out, but she was completely fine and so was the piano, so, that turned out all right :) For those of you who were asking if I bought or adopted the cat, I meant bought. I really think adopting is better! But this cat species is hypo-allergic, and since my dad is allergic to cats, this was the only way we could get one. I've wanted a cat for whole my life and after 16 years, my dream came true, and everyone here loves our little kitty :) I laughed at all your musical kitty jokes, and thanks for all the advice! Happy holidays xxx

Feed her inside the piano and let her grow up to be one musical kitty.

There's got to be a way to unscrew the parts and put them back on... No way would you have to break it.

Unless it's nailed, and the nails don't stick out, but I get where you're going with this. OP can cut a hole in the bottom and have it repaired.

tsk tsk tsk what a naughty key-tty... no seriously that sucks...try leaving a trail of cat treats leading to an escape or leave food outside the opening. sounds cruel but he's gotta eat sometime. if he still doesn't figure it out maybe you can get some piano expert to disassemble some of it without damaging it to much....whatever I don't know how they work.

Chances are, if she got in she can get back out. cats are crafty little bastards. just wait til she's hungry!

I the cats not used to you it could just be hiding... but yeah it got in there it can sure get out. Cats are smart and can get out of things you wouldn't believe.

You should start playing the piano. If you play the piano as well as you think through problems, the cat will get the hell out right away!

What about playing "Chopsticks" since most cats fear Chinese restaurants? :P

That sounds like a bad scene from the book/movie Sybil...

I burst out laughing at chopsticks and now my dog is looking at me like I am insane. My cats however have gone into hiding.

Why not leave it there and tell your friends your piano is haunted
