Adorable Cat Insists on Joining Parents’ Piano Sessions Daily
Professional pianist Mariana Koval is no stranger to grand performances in majestic concert halls. But when it comes to her most devoted fan, she doesn’t need a stage at all — just her home piano and a feline companion named Zlatko. This fluffy music lover has made it his mission to never miss a piano session, bringing a unique touch of charm (and fur) to every performance.
A Musical Household with Furry Fans
Living in a household of ten cats and two classically trained pianists — Koval and her husband Dimcho Velichkov — it’s no surprise that the sound of piano keys is a daily routine. However, Zlatko isn’t just a passive listener. Every time one of his parents sits at the piano bench, he rushes over to join in, insisting on being part of the moment.

Koval shared this adorable routine with her followers, captioning one video: “[It’s] another day in the office” — a nod to her feline assistant, Zlatko, whose favorite office furniture is the piano itself.
Zlatko: The Purr-fect Piano Partner
Zlatko is more than just a curious cat; he’s an active participant in these sessions. Sometimes, he perches on his parent’s lap and gently places his paws on the keys, creating impromptu duets. Other times, he sprawls across the piano, basking in the gentle vibrations of romantic-era compositions.
Koval fondly described Zlatko’s behavior as his daily dose of entertainment. But judging by his devotion, there may be deeper reasons behind Zlatko’s musical obsession.
Feline Taste for Classical Composers
Unlike most cats that might shy away from the dramatic dynamics of the piano, Zlatko and several of his siblings — including Anya, Bambi, and Sasha — are enchanted by it. Zlatko stands out with what seems to be a refined taste in music.
According to Koval: “Zlatko loves Chopin.”
The soothing melodies and playful dynamics of composers like Chopin may appeal to his feline sensitivities. His consistent appearance with every practice session makes it apparent that he isn’t simply tolerating the music — he’s reveling in it.
A Harmonious Bond
Whether it’s the joy of hearing the keys or the warmth of sitting beside his loved ones, Zlatko’s motives are clear — he’s there out of love and curiosity. These shared moments have created a heartwarming family routine, filled with affection, talent, and a touch of fur on the ivories.

“[He loves] both ☺️,” Koval replied to a fan comment asking whether Zlatko prefers the music or the cuddles.
