Beloved Cat Of Anthony Hopkins 'Demands' Entertainment While Social-Distancing So The Actor Plays Piano For Him
What would you do for your cat? Anthony Hopkins is setting an example for cat owners everywhere.
It's nice to see people looking out for each other during this difficult time. And when I say people, that includes cats (obviously).
Earlier this year, Anthony Hopkins shared a video of himself in self-isolation due to the pandemic. The 82-year-old movie star was keeping himself busy by playing the piano for his cat, Niblo (who seemed to be very pleased about this).
“Niblo is making sure I stay healthy and demands I entertain him in exchange… cats ??♂️,” Anthony captioned the Instagram video.
Niblo is often featured on Hopkin's social media, much to the delight of cat fanatics. Not much earlier than when he played the piano for his kitty, the Oscar-winning actor posted a video to his followers, wishing everyone a good morning from him and his "pal."
“This is my pal Niblo, saying good morning to everyone - oh, he got bored!” Hopkins then chuckles as the cat runs away during the clip, which was captioned, “Niblo wishes everyone a lovely day…”

The Westworld star - who is also an avid painter - often demonstrates his musical talents for his fans, playing the piano.
In August, he uploaded a video to Instagram of himself playing a tune with Niblo on his lap, captioning the post, “The pleasures of my life: a cat, a piano, a book, and a cup of tea.”
Hopkins says animals have been some of the most important things in his life.
“I was driving around Venice the other day, and I thought, ‘It’s all a dream. What a struggle it all is. It’s all an illusion, but it’s the glory of life, the sheer glory of looking for it in everything.’ And I’ve become aware of that now, more than ever,” he said. “It’s in there. It’s in my cat, it’s in my dog, it’s in you. How could it be otherwise?”
"I watch my cat jumping to a little pinch on the fireplace. Now, he can’t write a book, he doesn’t know anything about philosophy or mathematics. But how the hell does he do that? That is totally awe-inspiring."
Animals are certainly great company during self-isolation!
