Does anyone else have pets that like music?

[Cirrus. 1,090]

I have a pet cat that seems to like music to a degree. If I listen to music in the living room during the day she'll come from her normal spot and sit in the other chair (that she doesn't use otherwise at that time of day.) Sometimes she will even swish/twitch her tail with the beat when she's sitting there. I usually listen to rock/alternative when I put it on in that room, but more on the mellow side.

 

She doesn't like just any music. She normally chills on the beds upstairs during the day but if My sister puts Dubstep or similar music on she gets the hell out of there even if it's not that loud.

 

The song she seems to like the most is the synth/instrumental part near the end of Styx- Come sail away. she always perks up and her ears flick all over.

On the contrary. I recall whenever my dog was inside and I played Guitar Hero, he would start baying and barking.

My house has a parakeet who often will start singing louder when he hears music.

Though certain instruments/effects scare him instead, so that can go either way.

I don't know, but my bird sometimes starts singing when I'm playing the oboe in the same room. It's a happy singing, so he must like it.

my cat likes the sound of calming and soothing music like zen meditation sounds that allow her the chance to relax and not be too scared since she is an older cat now

Well if you can call clapping with your hands music than yeah, one of my dogs barks at that. Some of my dogs seem very relaxed when I'm playing classical

If my cat is ever snoozing on the couch or bed, playing a bit of Jazz perks her right up. I don't know what it is, but she'll almost immediately sit up and just be in a more playful mood.
