As the new kitten sits attentively, you can see its expression. At first, the little kitten doesn’t know what to make of the sound.
Slowly, his expression changes, and he seems to enjoy the sounds. He isn’t bobbing his little head to the beat, but you can tell he is relaxing.
If you want to test your cat, listen to different types of music. Scientists say that cats prefer something with a beat that is synchronous with their resting heart rate. There is cat-specific music available on YouTube. These mixes include sounds like cats purring and tones with frequencies within a cat’s vocal range.
Some cats like the sound of a white noise machine. If your cat struggles with anxiety, keeping a white noise machine on might help them relax. One thing to be conscious of is the type of music you select. Loud, head-banging, heavy metal with a strong bass should probably be left off the playlist. Most recommendations lean toward easy-listening music or quiet instrumental pieces.
