How Music Solves Cat Behavior Problems

Soothing the Savage Kitty...with Music!

I came across this article, where a woman describes how she uses music to allay her kitty's fearful states:  Music Therapy for Cats

Pleasant music can mask scary noises like thunder, or upsetting sounds like a trespassing cat’s meows, hisses and snarls that put your pet’s tail in a twist. But more than that, the cadence of certain sounds influences the body’s natural rhythms and can speed them up and energize the listener, or slow them down to calm him.



Can you think of any instances when soothing music could have helped your pet (and you!) better survive a stressful situation?

  1. When you bring home a new puppy it is helpful to put an analog clock in their bed. The constant ticking reminds them of their mother's heart beating:-)
