Actor Ron Livingston has created a hilarious parody of the classic [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopstix) video of the Keyboard Cat. The actor is seen dressed in the same blue shirt as the cat, along with catlike arms and cat ears on a headband.

The actor plays a merry little tune to mock the actual keyboard cat, which makes this video all the more hilarious. Ron Livingston's facial expressions are by far the most hilarious part of the entire video. So serious and attentive, the actor takes his parody very seriously.
