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!

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

That sounds like A Major catastrophe, OP. With a dilemma of this scale, patience and delicacy is key,

Can't you take it apart carefully and then put the parts back? Also most of the time, if a cat can get into something they can get back out, leave tuna outside and that'll convince her to move. Unless she's really stuck, then try and remove parts carefully so you can fix the piano up after.

This may or may not have been said already, but my advice when bringing a new cat home is to place them in a room that doesn't have places to crawl/climb into to stay hidden, save for a crate. Sit with them and let them get used to you as well as the smells in the room. Then, when they're more comfortable, you can bring them to other parts of the house. It's less stressful on the cat

What type of cat is it? I've been wanting a kitten for a while but my bf is super allergic! So hearing about a hypoallergenic cat gives me a glimmer of hope.

I'm glad things turned out well! It may be difficult when you first get your new kitty, but having a sweet, loving feline friend is definitely worth all the struggle.

123, I'm guessing a skinless cat, I'm pretty sure that the Sphinx is skinless.

#134 you mean a hairless cat, right? I think a skinless cat would be pretty damn terrifying to look at if it ever did exist.

skinless? Do you mean hairless? I doubt that a cat without skin would survive.

If you pay money, you are buying. Adopting is just a PC term for buying from a shelter instead of a pet store or private party.

There's no need for these ******* comments. Don't be rude. Literally no one gives a **** about what you have to say. Your comment is irrelevant to the initial post, so shut the **** up.
