Keyboard Cat

Musical pet meme

Keyboard Cat is an internet meme featuring a video of a cat appearing to play an electronic keyboard.

The original 1984 footage of a cat named Fatso was posted online in 2007 and became widely used as a humorous sign-off after fail videos—the cat "playing off" someone who had embarrassed themselves, like an orchestra ending a vaudeville act: And here comes Keyboard Cat to play him off.
