“Winter” from The Four Seasons, a violin concertoAntonio Vivaldi

Vivaldi “The Four Seasons” – “Winter” | High Quality | FULL

There are studies showing that cats prefer sounds one octave above the human voice or higher, and dislike low or growling sounds.

This is thought to be because higher tones are closer to a cat’s meow; for example, the timbre of a violin resembles a cat’s voice among instruments, so they’re likely to listen to it in a relaxed state.

However, some cats find the mere presence of continuous sound distressing, so please keep an eye on your cat’s behavior as a routine.
