Life of Pi Ep.85: One note, one cat. The last note: five.
A musical fidget slider plays Beethoven's Ode to Joy one push at a time, and every note pops one cat head out of a cardboard box, from whichever hole the cat picks, until the low last note brings five at once. This is an echoPi video. echoPi is an EDC fidget slider and pocketable instrument: its clicks are real physical stops you can set up in the app, and every click can play a note. Turn the sound off and it becomes a quiet fidget for the office. echoPi is in development.

Paper cut-out collage. Every slide on Pi's lid plays the next note of Ode to Joy, and every note brings one cat head up through a hole in a cardboard box. The cat picks which hole.
Push to the end of the track and you only get the click, no note. Then the low last note: five holes, five kittens, all at once.
Music: Beethoven, Symphony No. 9, "Ode to Joy" (1824, public domain), own arrangement.
