Beloved Cat of Anthony Hopkins 'Demands' Entertainment While Social-Distancing, So the Actor Plays Piano for Him
Anthony Hopkins has found a very relatable way to get through social distancing, and his cat Niblo is clearly the star of the show. The Oscar-winning actor has been sharing sweet moments from self-isolation, including one where he played piano just to keep his furry companion entertained.
Niblo has become a regular on Hopkins's social media, often popping up in videos that show the pair spending time together at home. In one clip, Hopkins joked that the cat was making sure he stayed healthy, while another post captured a cheerful morning greeting that ended with Niblo wandering off mid-scene.
It is a small, funny reminder that even a Hollywood legend can be put on cat duty. And Niblo seems to know exactly how to get what he wants.

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 aspects of 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!
