We all love to cuddle up with our little furry friends while listening to our favorite songs, but did you ever wonder whether your pets like the same music as you?!

Believe it or not, pets (specifically cats) enjoy music but prefer a different kind of jam. Most of our pets at home enjoy more classical music and symphonies with a lot of piano. This style of music creates a very calming effect for pets and helps them relax, which can be good for stressful situations such as thunderstorms, construction, or even when you leave the house.

There are now composers who write music specifically designed for the cat listeners out there. They base the music off of the range of the cat's hearing, and even sounds they hear from the wild. According to PBS, cats like this music because it has similar frequencies and tempos that other species use for communication.

I wanted to see how true the idea that cats actually enjoy this style music is, so I played this for my two rescue cats that tend to have high anxiety. Instantly they both became intrigued by the music and started purring. Within a few minutes, they both were cuddled up to me with half shut eyes, wanting belly rubs.

I believe that this music is great for all pets, and there are even variations of it that you can play for them. For example, if you want to play with them, put on a song that has a bit faster tempo. Our pets are pretty much just like us, except with way more sensitive senses, so keep that in mind next time you're deep into a project, music blasting, with your fur babies in the house.
