Do your cats have any favorite music? I am a big cats lover and have three cats. If they do not like the music I am listening to, I will immediately use a headphone. If they are sleeping on my steel, I will wait to play the steel until they wake up. If they liked Teisco sound better than Fender, I would buy more Teiscos right away. Anyway I do not think they are crazy about music, but I think they like a few of my CD collections. I believe my cats favorite music (album) is David Cullen gOne Night One Guitarh When I play this CD, they stop demanding and mewing, and never want to go outside. So, May I ask what your cats favorite music is? Your cats, not yours, please. Thank you so much in advance. Kuni Suzuki |

I had a cat who loved it when I picked "Blackbird" on the flattop. Without a doubt, every time, she'd come over and rub against me and lie down in front of me when I started picking that melody. It becam a trick to show guests. |

Well ---Everytime I sit behind my steel ---my cat goes to the sunroom on the other side of the house as far away as she can go ....This tells you how I play . But fire up the stereo and she is right there on "her" chair loving everybit of the music and her head just a bobbing. Cute little creatures aren't they?! James ------------------ |

My current cat seems pretty oblivious to music. But Missy does love to settle in on a soft pillow on my pack-a-seat whenever my wife or I work a while at the computer in the studio. She gives two paws up to Sho-Bud seats. "She" being the cat, not the wife!  ------------------ [This message was edited by John McClung on 23 May 2006 at 07:34 AM.] |

A musician in an industrial band called Skinny Puppy did a solo album called "Music for Cats"- and that is exactly what it is. He took patterns and sounds that elicited responses from his cats and made a record of it. His name is Cevin Key. Be warned though, YOU won't like it. I love his music and this record is totally unlistenable. Leave the house, turn it on and let the kitties have their fun! |

I have two cats. One of them is almost as smart as a doorknob. But not quite. Yet I don't quite buy into the stupidity defense when trying to explain how & why he charged full speed from the other end of the room and ran head first into the pedal rods of my steel. Put a good bend into one of them. I put a good bend into him. [This message was edited by Jon Light on 23 May 2006 at 11:05 AM.] |

My cat likes to lay in front of the pedal bar when I play. I have a distant cousin that loves sheep, I think he gets out in a couple more years. ------------------ |

My cat Pandit will actually take a twang or two on the pedal steel or a guitar on a stand when he's in a brotherly frame of mind. Since he more-or-less grew up curled up on the head of my bed when I was listening to Indian music or classical violin, he has a marked fondness for those - in fact he comes running up and plops down when he hears some Indrajit Banerjee or Bach's partitas (He doesn't curl so good anymore now that he's three feet long and 17 lbs.) He does have a marked dislike for music with drummers bashing and crashing away incessantly on cymbals - smart cat. |

One of my cats, Hu, couldn't care less about music. The other cat, Mao, loves it when I play unplugged bottleneck! But plug into an amp, and they both hide! |

Cats harbor an amazing amount of hatred. They benefit from soft music like Yanni or Kenny G. I bet the lady who owns that cat listens to speed metal. |

I think my cats Dillweed and Tinkerbell both love country music. Tinkerbell is always laying on the armrest of our couch while I'm watching country music videos. Dillweed and Tinkerbell both mark my steel, so I think they love my steel and sometimes they will be asleep on my bed and my steel playin' don't bother them one bit, so I think they love the sound of my steel. I had a cat one time who ran out of my room every time I played my acoustic guitar.It turned out she didn't like my guitar playing-haha, so I think my cats both love country music.

Thank You so much for posting my photo. I have yet to figure out how to add photo's to the forum. Just a few days ago -- I turned around from my desk and there for the first time in 3 years sat my feline friend (Miss Bootsie) behind my steel. It took me a few minutes to reach and fumble with the camera. And then this thread appeared so I thought it would be fitting. And Mike -Those are 2 BEAUTIFUL cat you have.

Charles, my cats Dillweed and Tinkerbell are tabbies. When I go on vacation,they listen to country music on the radio. They both mark my steel, so they must really love the steel guitar. Before I bought my GFI, one of the cats climbed onto my Emmons to look out the window and now Dillweed loves to go under my GFI and sleep near the foot pedals or sometimes, you'll find him laying on my pac-a-seat.

You cats are too much. With two cat hating dogs (lab and bassett) any cats around here would cause a catastrophe. Also the mice and squirrels behind my walls wouldn't appreciate it. |

Barfly is our harmoni-cat. When she was a kitten she would clinb up on my hubby's chest and gaze into his face as he played the harmonica. If he stopped playing, she'd reach up and pat his mouth with her paw. She will follow him all around the house and if she's outside, he can play her favorite song and she'll come runnin'. Her fave song is "You Are my Sunshine". She's 17. Our younger cat Asa (14) is not musical which is a shame because she really has the better voice... ------------------ |
