Mar 1 2012, 11:50 AM	GMC:er Posts: 123 Joined: 22-July 07 From: Switzerland	I usually close the doors when I am practising because my wife seems to be - hm, let's say bored when I am playing the same piece on and on... and because I have three cats living in my house I used to think that it would be better to keep their sensitive ears away from heavy noise... So I shut the doors, cranked up the volume and made my guitar scream. After about half an hour I decided to take a break - and was really shocked when I realised that my little cat was sitting on my bookshelf during the whole session! It made me feel so bad... I still wonder if this could have caused some damage to her ears? Ond the other hand she didn't seem to try to leave the room - maybe she even enjoyed it? Did I finally made it to get my first groupie? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

My former guitar teacher's cat was sitting on the top of his amplifier, while he was playing on full volume, and the cat could hear normally, without any problem.

That's possibly the coolest thing I've ever heard ! Yeah, in all my time of witnessing music & animals I honestly think cats and dogs love metal.

And I can say that my cat behaves absolutely normal (as far as this is possible with cats... ). You seem to be right - they really may love music and even heavy metal! If EMI had known this they would have replaced the dog in their logo (label "his master's voice") with a cat! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Every cat I've had does it An old cat I had Called Hendrix was always with me too and this cat Llwyd as well. So ye in my opinion cats love the guitar Or it could be that I sound like a cat playing the guitar You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They prefer fast beats over slow beats, and deep tones rather than high-pitched notes. This means mostly hard rock they enjoy, where as, heavy metal music blasted at loud volumes might be upsetting to them. They perfer piano over the guitar, but might like both? The owner didn't teach the cat any tricks to do this... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

In general I am much more a dog person, I love my dog more than is probably healthy. (I think I may have to take a month off from work he when dies) But, the two cats my wife and I have had both seem to always be around when I am playing. Our first cat, who recently died from cancer, REALLY loved my guitar, and would literally just sit next to me the entire time I was playing, and would normally start rubbing on the headstock and purring.
