Cat CD still doing well...

There is nothing like a bit of classical music to groom to ....

Restful 33 minutes past midnight

and indeed they were all resting peacefully and calmly with the new CD on. The music is soft and mostly piano with some guitar. Its more varied than the other cat CD with the purrs in it. The music is pleasing for me too which is just as well as I usually let it play until morning.

Easy Peasy Sunday

Megat sat close to me to remind me that bedtime was near...

Our old new cat CD

List of cat songs :)

I finally found the cat CD that I bought a long time ago. I thought it was time to change the bedtime music for the boys as they were a little restless last night. Bujang insisted on telling me loudly that he didn't care for any more purring from strange cats and Tanaka and Toro had started to chase each other about. I was also getting a little restless myself :) I do not know if this CD would be any good on the long term but I remembered Bujang quite enjoyed it the last time.

Sleepy Sunday

zzz...

cat cd...

I had written about this cd some time ago and had reported that I would try and see what would happen to the amigos once they heard it and I must say that after 3 days, it is very effective at calming down the boys. I listened closely and heard warm purring sounds emanating from the music and the music itself is calming to the sprirts, even mine.

I thought of trying this out when we had a little accident - my bed (which was already many many years old) gave way with Toro and Tanaka on it. It scared all of the boys so much that they spent the rest of the time wide-eyed, added to the fact that the aircon people came and rattled them already. Then I realised that if the cd works, Cousin R could play it for them at night as I would be away for a week. Then they would be calm and fall asleep without me :)

It has worked like a miracle and I do not need to play the classical tunes from online radio all the time. It really works:)

It would also set my mind at rest as eventhough Cousin R would babysit, I know Bujang would make quite a rcaket if things are not the way he thinks they must be and his yelling would wind up Toro, Tanaka and Cousin R too :) I would be in Langkawi and would not worry about them for at least a week :))

Cat CD

I got this cat CD as it promised great relaxation for the kitties. The blurb says "Cats respond to all kinds of music, but the tracks on this CD have been specially created to relax and calm your cat. Purring sounds - which are healing sounds for cats - have been included to have an extra calming effect on your pet!"


It has 4 tracks by the Japanese composer Hiroki Sakaguchi who also played Keyboard, Chikara Suda (Cello & Outstring), Shigeru Oikawa (recorder/Traverso), Tohru Sakurada (lute), Hiroshi Fuzukawa (Viola da Gamba) and takeshi Ishikawa (percussion). I was trying to listen to the purring sounds and of course I didn't hear any. This morning I read that "Some of the tracks in this CD contain sounds that are only audible to animals". Ok. THAT is something that I cannot verify :)

However, it seems the composer's pet dog would always listen to the music he composed and his friends pets were all relaxed when they heard the music.

Last night Bujang was being very bossy to me as well as to the boys and he ran up and down the bedroom. So I figured out I should give the CD a try. Of course I had switched off all the lights. This always makes them calmer, even Bujang. However sometimes he would still yell for some time afterwards and would try to bully the other two. I am glad to report that a few minutes after I played the tracks, he became quiet and sat down to relax. I will try the CD again throughout the week of course to see if indeed it is not a fluke.

Btw Trude Mostue, TV vet saiys "It really does work!" :))
