A Katzenklavier is a musical instrument such that a line of cats is put inside a keyboard with each key corresponding to a particular tail. You press a key, you hit a tail - it's like a Purina commercial, but with more pain-sounds. Put the cats in chromatic order according to their meow-pitch and you've got yourself a Katzenklavier.
BUT THERE'S MORE.
German physician Johann Christian Reil (1759 - 1813) used the Katzenklavier as the original cure for ADD (basically). He figured if the patient was exposed to this particular instrument, they wouldn't be able to do anything BUT focus. And he was probably right.
I don't think PETA would be into this, yo.
