Cats and audiophiles


Are there any cat owners and audiophiles out there? Do your cats listen with you? I have four hyperactive bengals 2 males 1 year old and two females 18 weeks old. The males will listen to chamber music but not symphonic; all hate opera. None use the Avalons nor the Acoustats as scratching posts... lucky I guess. All four will sleep or listen on the sofa except the alpha male Crash (apropos). He will wander over to the Spectral DMA 180 and lay on it for warmth ( why I don't know because the room is warm enough). They will all leave disgusted if I attempt to put on rock or jazz. They will listen to Mozart all night long or until they are hungry, in which case they will "coo" (bengals coo--rarely meow) and do their love bites to let me know it is time for food.

The cat might jump if the cliff was high enough.
In New York, and probably other cities, cats do fall out the windows of tall buildings. An interesting fact has been observed...if a cat falls from the third(I think) floor, it will likely be killed. As the fall moves up, even to the twentieth floor, it becomes LESS likely that the cat will die. A falling cat reaches a terminal velociy which it can survive IF it has been falling long enough to orient its body for the landing.

I invite anyone who doubts this to throw Felix out of a tall building.

this is one of the few long threads i've read. too much fun.

i have 2 long hairs: vito & xena. xena, well, she'd like to spend time in the listening room but vito, the alpha male, won't allow it---he's quite dominating but so handsome he gets away with it. he's also known to listen w/ me for hours on end...but if i get up to get a snack, he'll jump into my listening chair and refuse to leave.

most interestingly, they never used to listen when i owned merlins or soundlabs, but they love the WP6s, as i do.

I think cats and music go hand in hand, as they are both a source of introspection...
