1. The influence of music on cats

Music is a universally loved art form by humans, but have you ever thought about the impact of music on cats? Research shows that certain types of music can improve a cat's mental state, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote physical health and happiness. However, this doesn't mean every song is suitable for your cat, whose musical preferences vary from cat to cat.

For cats, slow-paced soft music, such as classical music and piano music, is more likely to attract their attention and relax, while too noisy and harsh music may make them uncomfortable or even frightened. If you find that your cat responds to certain music, try customizing a playlist for her.

2. Types of music suitable for cats

So, what kind of music is suitable for cats? The following types of music may be good choices:

2.1 Classical music

Classical music can not only reduce the stress of cats, but also achieve the effect of soothing pets. This kind of music is usually softer, without too many electronic effects, and is more in line with cats' listening habits.

2.2 Piano music

Cats also prefer piano music, because the sound of the piano is soft and melodious, which is very soothing to cats. Also, piano music usually doesn't have too many vocals and other noisy sound effects.

2.3 Natural sounds

Natural sounds, such as running water and birdsong, can give cats a feeling of comfort. This kind of sound is soft and natural, which is beneficial to regulating the cat's mental state.

3. Types of music that need to be avoided

Although some music is good for cats, there are other types of music that need to be avoided:

3.1 Noisy music

Loud and harsh music is very harmful to cats and can produce negative emotional reactions and even cause panic. Music such as heavy metal and rock music are not suitable to be played in front of cats.

3.2 Certain human language music

Some studies have shown that human language music (such as pop music, country music, etc.) is not suitable for playing to cats. Because this music is often composed of human sounds, emotions, and language, it is difficult for cats to understand and adapt to it.

3.3 Too fast rhythm

For cats, too fast a rhythm will increase their stress. Therefore, music such as fast-paced pop music and electronic music are not suitable as background music for cats.

Summary

In short, there is no certain standard for what songs to listen to cats. The best way is to observe their reactions and choose according to the cat’s own characteristics and preferences. In general, soft, soothing, slow-paced music, such as classical music and piano music, are good choices. But be sure to avoid any loud, harsh, fast-paced music, as such music can have a negative impact on your cat’s physical and mental health.
