Do Pets Respond to Music?

Posted on 2007-10-19

I was just thinking about it. Don't animals respond to music as well?

I remeber this cat I saw in a tv show who "meows" each time a guitar is strum. Or those dogs in dog kennels outside the house who howl each time a music plays. Maybe they wonder how sounds are created too. Just like a child who imitates sounds that he hears, pets too try to imitate not really the sound but the beat.

I remember one time, we were in a research groupmate's house who has this huge dobberman. The big dog was about to sleep when I got bored and started to stump my feet on the floor. I didn't notice until sometime after that the dog's head went nodding (or twitching) each time i stump. I told my groupmate and did it for sometime until the dog woke up ang looked for another place to sleep.

Poor dog..
