My cats, one of which is pictured here; really like music. They have different reactions to it. Music just seems to get them going in a way that other things don't. (String may LOL) But, they really do funny things. Pictured here is Angel my calico kitty reacting to rock. Do your animals react funny to music? Do they do odd things to varied types of music? If you have pictures of it, please share. I think it would be so funny to see the community's cats reacting to the latest music on your home system. Thanks ahead.

Now that's cute. I love the irritated cat look. They have so much personality. It just amazes me at how much these felines are creatures that really have their own likes and dislikes. My calico seems to love rock. My tabby hates it. Things like that. How many cats do you have? What are their likes in music? Take care.

I only have my orange long haired tabby who's into heavy metal music and then there's my wife who doesn't need music to look irritated. She's a real cat and I'm only sorry I didn't get her declawed when we got married.:(

Yikes. I don't know what to say except it sounds painful. Anyway, that's a cute cat picture. LOL My calico is at present trying to pry open the kitchen cubbard. She's so smart. Yep, she my wild-child. Gotta love it. Trance is my next experiement with her. I'll play it whilst I work out and see how she reacts to it.

My cat was just on the couch sleeping. I put on some music from the 80's and he jumped down to lay in his basket near the T.V. where the music is playing. If you look on the web and type in music for cats, dogs etc, there are cd's for animals. Some of them have samples you can listen to to seee if your pet approves. I had a siamese cat many years ago that would lie in front of the speakers of my 8 track way back.

Now that is too cool. I'll have to check that one out. I wonder how you can tell if your cat approves or not? Is it because they site in front of the speakers. I know my cats all do the silliest things in different musical environments. One does nothing at all. I think because she is old, she may be deaf though. That would certainly make sense. What type of cat do you currently have?

Sounds like a cute furry cat. Do you have pictures on your profile or can you show. I like to do that for my cats. I know, it;s like parents with their kids. Your like sitting there having to endure the whole "look at my adorable kids thing". But, you do it because your kids are cute and you want to share too. Although some pet owners aren't really considered to be pet parents, rather they "own" the cat. (Which the cat is like, "nobody owns me". [i][/i]

I have a plain American short hair. Let me back up, he had short hair when he was a kitten, but as he grew so did his hair.He has this large fluffy tail that looks like a giant feather. I call him Oliver.
