My male cat "Nick" will immediately roll on his back with his legs up when I play the piano (mostly jazz) and will jump on my lap when I listen to jazz music (he thinks he's a dog - he licks my face like a dog also!). My female cat "Eve" seems to prefer classical music, and she is much more enamored with my wife who happens to play classical piano. Coincidence?
Cats and audiophiles
Are there any cat owners and audiophiles out there? Do your cats listen with you? I have four hyperactive bengals 2 males 1 year old and two females 18 weeks old. The males will listen to chamber music but not symphonic; all hate opera. None use the Avalons nor the Acoustats as scratching posts... lucky I guess. All four will sleep or listen on the sofa except the alpha male Crash (apropos). He will wander over to the Spectral DMA 180 and lay on it for warmth ( why I don't know because the room is warm enough). They will all leave disgusted if I attempt to put on rock or jazz. They will listen to Mozart all night long or until they are hungry, in which case they will "coo" (bengals coo--rarely meow) and do their love bites to let me know it is time for food.
