Does your pet/ pets have favorite music? Long ago, cat sitters left my cats alone with Easy Listening on radio?

Long ago, cat sitters left my cats alone with Easy Listening on radio .... And I came home from a two-week vacation, and there were Murray and Leona, each lounging but alert, heads up, at either side of the stereo cabinet, listening to Frank Sinatra on the Easy Listening channel of the radio. THEY DIDN'T EVEN COME TO THE DOOR TO GREET ME!(They were a bit peeved, which is normal if you've been gone for a long time .... typical cat temperment.)I totally cracked up looking over at them on walking in the door .... they looked like they had decided to forget about being my leftist kitties and had become republicans pretending they lived in a gated community! The cat sitters told me that cats just really do like the pace and tone and sound of Easy Listening, and I can understand that -- but this music -- except for a bit of Frank once in a while now and then -- is not going to be playing in my place.

I've been trying to figure out for 18 months what music my newest puss, Omar, likes, and you'll never believe it. He LOVES REGGAE! Asked by lydianell 24 months ago Similar questions: pet pets favorite music Long ago cat sitters left cats Easy Listening radio Pets.

Oh yes ;-) I have 24 canaries, I'm a breeder, but this is my basic stock ( and family ) and some of them I been keeping for years ( and will until they die )and they in particular have their favorite songs and CD,-in fact by now thy have their own CD collection :-). Years ago when I had just one I left him with the radio on each time when I left the house..I was playing mike Oldfield every now and then when I was back home and noticed that he went absolutely beserk when playing particular songs. After a while I could identify the melody of certain songs in his singing.

Since then I started to experiment with certain music pieces. And when I started breeding I had even more examples as the young ones learnt their singing very quickly from the old ones and the CDs. They have their particular favorite songs, but let me also know when they don't like a particular CD that day.

Believe me, if 24 canaries making a complaining voice you don't want to be there..nothing better for me than open the door in the morning as they are across the landing, switch the music on and 12 males,+ the 12 lady birds ( tho they not as good ) start singing and you hear your favorite music. They even had ( th old ones last year ) about just a second where they did a choir and I was lucky enough to be in the same room that time:-) All animals seem to react to music ( even the deaf ones as they can feel the sound waves)and the can react as we do. Play them meditation-music if you want to calm them down, and experiment with what they like or don't like.

But, as with us-, sometimes they have to hear a song more than onces before they like it. Hard rock seems to make them aggressive as my brother found out years ago when he cleaned the stables where my father was breeding horses in. And I had a house-canary which followed me everywhere around, but as soon she heard hard rock music she made a complaining noise and flew away and came only back when the music changed.My boyfriend uses calming music ( he's a vet ) when examine the animals and it works fine.

Having 24 different characters myself, each bird seem to have a favorite song, but they also have favorite group songs, and favorite parts of a particular song:-) As they all have different voices from each other I can hear them ( as I work from home these days ) all day long and there is nothing better than hearing a song and then the voices of different canaries each one picking out they favorite part, and as they know their songs, they sing on time :-) Though, we had a cat when I was young and she was into Oliver Shanti music as she was lying down next to speaker with open eyes and stayed there until the music stopped. If scientist discovered that even plants react with their growth to music, it seems obvious to me that animals do to,-except you can see their reaction...enjoy watching your cats and maybe going down the way me and my boyfriend did and play music that effects their behaviour, as play relaxing music before a vet visit and after as this is always stressful for most animals..

1 I knew a little bird once that liked to whistle at women as they walked by. But that's the extent of my experience with pets and music... (I taught him the whistle, and he seemed to like it)...

2 When I had my two dogs I would leave classic rock on the radio while I went to work. I knew they liked it because if I left the radio in the bedroom on,that is where (or close by) they would be and if I left the radio in the living room on,they would be in or closer to that room. If I left the T.V.On they would be away from the source when I got home and the same if I did not leave any sounds on.

They enjoyed the music because (I believe) is what they heard since they were puppies. As puppies I used to keep them near me and caressed them as they slept while relaxing listening to music. I used to take them to parks and walk trails with them and at the end BBQ and put music on while we all relaxed.So music to them was a positive affirmation of love and peace,and they did not bark needlessly(only at strangers at the door)and not at any little noise they would hear.

Another amazing thing,they would not bark when they would hear other dogs bark in the neighborhood (at least not while I was home)As far as cats,I don't know. I had a cat that one of my neighbors accidentally poisoned when he flushed his radiator in his car and lived with us 4 yrs. And I can say it made any difference to the cat.

If it did or not I could not tell,but knew the cat loved me because he would leave us headless pigeons as gifts for us. He loved to share and loved home cooking..

3 Thanks for your stories, Laserjet. I'd imagine the sounds of TV, indeed, would not be very pleasant for animals. Nuthin says luv like headless pigeons!(Too bad you aren't the type of French person that eats pigeon.

Yech ....)I knew this cat, Beeko, for quite a while -- the puss of a couple I was close to. She was the fiercest, most maniacal huntress ever! With every bell my friends put on Beeko to make sure she could be heard, the more keenly she developed her amazing stealth.

I'll never forget that bad girl! She was so gorgeous and happy and alive! Once, I held a meeting up in the mountains at the cabin where she lived.

We were all sitting there, and she walks into the main room with a HUGE BLUEJAY and drops it in the middle of the floor! Beeko's love was great, indeed. This user has been banned from Askville.

Cat lover of Askville, be counted. " "What's a good website about cats as pets?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
