Good evening, it’s 6pm here and I’m feline good at the moment and in the mood to write something a bit off beat which may interest one or two of you, particularly if you like music and have pets.
For no particular reason I remembered an article I read yonks ago that stated that cats and dogs can like some human music but not all genres and found that some excellent recent research had recently been done by the University of Wisconsin.
What Kind of Music Do Cats Like? What Science Says – Catster
The research suggested that cats didn’t like Bach’s Air on a G String.
Frankly it’s a beautiful bit of music but listening to it I came to the conclusion that the multiple violins are way too high pitched for a cat to enjoy: cats screech when they’re in distress and purr when they’re relaxed.
So then I wondered whether a cello soloist (cats are generally solitary) was more to a cats taste and found the following piece of Bach’s music.
But here is the bit where I lay claim to being a smart arse, The University of Wisconsin researchers asked a composer to come up with music that cats like and here are the results.

So pussy lovers don’t ban Bach, ban the violence of the violin.
And here’s one for dog lovers, Pennywise over Pink Floyd.

Finally I’m going to go really left field and suggest that a lazy lion might get that bit more lively and hungry with a bit of old school drum ‘n’ base or maybe some proper thrash metal.
I reckon this set at Wacken would wake ’em.
It’s no surprise this plastic cockney has spent the best part of 15 years in the UK’s knackered mental health system.
