The Cat Piano is a 2009 Australian animated short film directed by Eddie White and Ari Gibson and narrated by Nick Cave.

The poet singles out one female singer of whom he is clearly enamored, quoting her singing as "A voice that made all the angels of eternity sound ... tone deaf".

Immediately after discovering this, the main character rushes to warn the female singer, and arrives seconds too late.

In this nightmare, a dark humanoid figure holds up a cage with the aforementioned female singer and pricks her with a needle.

He observes the lighthouse from a hill, which now casts a red beam of light, and he can hear the terrible screams of the cats from a distance.

The instrument he is playing resembles more of an organ than a piano, but nevertheless it is a terrifying torture machine equipped with hundreds of needles.
