Thread: Cat's love Music:)

One of our four current MCs does seem to enjoy music. She will often go lie in front of the hifi when it is on. The other three, though, do not seem to enjoy it, particularly if it is on fairly loudly. They will typically leave the room. Have in fact seen multiple of these cats at a time flatten their ears down when there are particular sounds in a song. That is a sign it is disturbing them.

Maybe we have to more fully, consider which musical genre lifts a Coon's ears*Roy

On a 3 hr trip back from the west of Ireland last week we played this C.D by an excellent band from Mali called Tinariwen for "Winston" who was moaning about being locked in his basket in the back of the car.

He pretty much stopped moaning and was listening intently.
I think he's a fan like us

Played the video to Harry, but he was too busy trying to lick the screen ha ha, but I liked it !

HarryMc: Ha! Ha! Winston is curled up in front of the screen as I speak. I'm going to have to tidy my desk and have a look at putting something on the desk for him.

Glad you like the music even if Harry was too busy licking the screen. We have a great festival of world cultures every year in the port of Dun Laoghaire (pronounced Done - Leery),near Dublin City.
I've seen some great bands there but would love to see Tiniwaren play

We have something similar over here called Womad. It is held about an hours drive from us in Malmesbury. We haven't got the line up yet, but you never know Tinariwen may be there ?????

Feeling the primal power of Tuareg resistance music, I downloaded Tinariwen's album Amassakoui from iTunes. I also downloaded the album Ishumar (Mali-Niger Touaregs) for the very raw Tinariwen track 'Nezagh ajba'. Maybe cats can relate to the primal roots inherent in this genre of music? (Primal as in relating to an early stage in evolutionary development; primeval : primal hunting societies.) Interesting*Roy

Exploring into the idea of Primal Music, I came by a link to TEYUS who's music is based on feline vocal communication and environmental sounds that pique the interest of cats. This has to be worthy of consideration*Roy

Music for Cats - listen

All of the music that you ever heard,
every note, every phrase was
written by and for humans.
Now for the first time, there
is authentic music for cats.
