I find it interesting that Kitty likes sacred music.

It is Sunday morning. I am listening to "A Joyful Noise," KDFC's early Sunday morning sacred music program. Kitty is spread out at my feet, enjoying the music with me. Her tail is extended, in a vulnerable position. When I meowed at her, she moved said tail about 1/4 inch, to let me know she heard me. I find it fascinating that my cat likes music. Sometimes she settles in by my bedroom stereo, and then relaxes when I turn it on. My horse did not care about music. Music is very mathematical. As you know, I am also interested in the fact that my Autistic piano students "get" music a a very intuitive level. What are your favorite kinds of music?

Most animals like music, gentle music, not hard metal. Did you know that cows produce more milk when soft music is played?

@TheHorse - It is true, I remember farmers playing music to the cows in Italy.

@LadyDuck If relaxed cows produce more milk, life is good.

Bring on the Celtic and Folk for music for me. And some cello. I had fun with my Fred cat last night. I've started to do some basic sketching- totally new ball game for me. Fred cat lay against me and watched me draw. I found it fascinating, watching his ears and head turn as I drew lines on the paper.

@TheHorse I don't know. Fred likes his morning sit. This time it was evening. We're close buds. He knows I won't hurt him so he is free to just do what he feels like and this time it was watching what I was doing.

That is very interesting! I wonder if they like the vibrations when sitting or laying near the speakers? I love classic rock and older true country music. Most of it these days has hip hop or rap mixed in. E

Happy that kitty enjoys music. It's always good to have some company for things that we love. . I have worked with autistic children and young adults. I am surprised at their musical talent, how intuitive they are. Many learn it on their own.

So you agree with me that Autistic individuals may be uniquely "wired" to understand and express music? That is my experience.

@TheHorse Yes, totally. I have met so many of them in 17 years and each one is unique. Music intelligence is something I found in each of them( whom I have met so far). They are intuitive in their learning, be it Music or academic or any other areas.

Some of the best Country music is based on gospel music.

My uncle was an organist at several churches and he used to play at his house. He owned three cats (which are mine) and they loved to listen to him play.

Very interesting. I think animals like music. I still remember of our dog Angus and he loved the music of Rammstein. Hubby listen to Rammstein every now and then but not so loud as I don’t like it.

Rap is not music. Some Country is OK with me. Like this one. Possibly my favorite song.

Cats do seem to like music, well our two seemed to like Bob Dylan. My favourite kind of music is believe it or not the Dance Music from the early part of the century we would dance to in night clubs Have a listen to this
