What pets hang out with Audiophiles?


We seem to be on a roll with this type of thread - cars, watches, etc.

What pets do audiophiles have? Do they hang with you while you're listening or run for cover? I have a couple dogs (shelties) and a couple sets of fish. Neither listen with me. Anything exotic out there? -Kirk

10 year old Dalmatian, comes into the music-room as soon as I sit down to listen and settles at my feet. Prefers analog, hates muddy bass.
Our 9 year old American Eskimo dog generally hangs with me in the living room where the music system is but is usually oblivious to the music.
Our cat, who died in April, used to really groove with the music, placing himself in a position where he could get a reasonable stereo image; '60s jazz was his favorite.
Our 3 month old kitten likes to hang out where we are, which is often near the music. I had to spend some time, initially, getting him to stop biting the Vandersteens when he heard interesting sounds emanating from them. Now that he's settled down somewhat, he does seem to notice the music but is more fascinated by the images on the tv.
My cat Mindy. Priuor to Mindy for 16 years it was Tibina until she passed on in 1998
Sek, I am sorry to hear about your loss. It's tough, I know. I lost my cat of 16 years, KoKo, last year. She loved to listen to the music. I think she also saw it as a cuddle opportunity. I have a another cat now, BooBoo,and he is starting to come in and listen. I haven't figured out if he is listening or just sees an inviting lap. BTW, I got tons of scratching posts and trees for him and he has NEVER touched a thing in the house - scratch, bite,etc. He's got his own stuff that he tears into.
Scott, I wish you good times with your cat as well. Time is so precious, isn't it?

p.s. my fish don't care one way or the other as long as their water is clean and they get fed.... (I wish it were ALL so simple! :-} )
