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.

this is one of the few long threads i've read. too much fun.

i have 2 long hairs: vito & xena. xena, well, she'd like to spend time in the listening room but vito, the alpha male, won't allow it---he's quite dominating but so handsome he gets away with it. he's also known to listen w/ me for hours on end...but if i get up to get a snack, he'll jump into my listening chair and refuse to leave.

most interestingly, they never used to listen when i owned merlins or soundlabs, but they love the WP6s, as i do.
