Music and cats...?

I was trying all sorts of music because of this post, lol

Dixie responds well to music like Within Temptation, Evanescence and Avril Lavigne. She lays down with her head up and with her ears perked with her tail wagging...not annoyed, just listening. She does not like anything with a high pitch, including the ring on my cell phone or the beep on the alarm clock...I usually get nipped on my legs. She has real sensitive ears and likes the low twinkly sounds and soft voices.

Toby likes music that has a grind to it, like Disturbed or Staind. He gets playful and follows me around to play when I have the stereo up.

Churchy likes just about anything but grindy music gets him going too...he starts climbing the walls and playing, lol. He comes in here on the desk and sits right next to the speakers when I play Rob Zombie...

Usually they're all snoring and drooling on the bed when I play country or much of anything else but big band or highschool band music makes them hide, lol

I think it's the same with them as it is with us. If I need to get up and clean, I put on some rock and I get going...anything slower and I'm not getting up anytime soon. :D

:) Oh yes in three of the rooms at the house I keep Country Western on down low volumn.. I make sure its on while I am at work and at night & they just love it..

I have 2 songs I made up for Cocoa Kitty. He loves them because they have the words he knows and they both state that he's good. Purrs up a storm! You know how the kitties love praise!

I'm starting to think that a cats musical preference is in some ways determined by the mood of his or her person...like if I am relaxed listening to a nice jazz song, the kitties pick up on it and are relaxed too. However, there are some things that put me in a very upbeat and positive mood musicwise that for some reason drives the cats off.

Sigh, maybe I should just leave it at cats are complecated :D
