    Just a totally random thought i thought id share... does anyone know if animals respond to music? like do you think dogs can distinguish between different rythms and tempo's and can actually like the sound of some music? do they know what it is? Anyone got any pets that groove? lol

    Dogs seem to hate all music by Cat Stevens.

    According to some researches, animals enjoy Mozart.
    Apperantly, it calms them.

    I don't know about music but my cat used to get very mad at me when I'd change the channel from American's Funniest Home Videos. He'd be on the couch and start growling a little when I changed the channel, then he'd get up and walk away.

    Well, "animals" is a bit vague...Humans, birds, what?
    If you mean like creatures kept as pets...our bunnies love the music, and stomp and get moody if its too loud or too heay rock. They like relaxing stuff

    I think animals like music, I've seen cats and dogs behave differently to different types of music, so they must have some appreciation for it.

    Everything is music, anyways.
