Do you ever play calm/relaxing music for your pets?

Question

LZPanzer · Accepted Answer

Most animals have radically different nervous system and auditory senses from our own. As such they likely experience music completely differently than us.

Music is also very much a cultural thing for humans, most animals lack the cognitive ability to understand the cultural significance of music so most would just experience music as ordinary background noise.

Maybe unrelated, but I always had our cat prick up his ears, when I played Blizzard games and selected certain units. I remember reading about some Zerg unit sounds that were composed/created with bird sounds. The cat certainly noticed! :-D

I have tried it once but it didn’t really seem to affect them... however I play my own music pretty loudly throughout the house sometimes on my stereo, and I’m not sure if they hate it or not.. I hope not, I wouldn’t want to make them uncomfortable

You mean like cats doing Bohemian Catsody.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

Yeah definitely! I once played a playlist on Spotify specifically made for cats. He was looking at the phone with wide dark eyes, like in a trance. I played that playlist many times since then.
My cat is with me at that time, and that is enough.

I tried a couple times a few years ago. She really didn’t seem to care. I will play my own or classical usually and she really seems indifferent.

However she does like when I turn on the tv. She loves to listen to tv shows or movies, sometimes she will even watch the screen too.

I used to play Yiruma pieces for my rabbits. They loved it. The pups near my home seem to love everything because whenever I would play piano in high volume they will sing along. They love Alan Walker too like me I guess.

All I noticed is that our dogs like lively music they can sing (bark), dance (twirl & jump) along with me to and they like instrumentals they can fall asleep to. The cats and the others don't care.

dustybiker · Answer

Yes. They have their own playlist when left alone. When the first song starts they all go to their positions and throw themselves down. “Mum’s going out again.” *sigh*  So smart.
