Lungimsam Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hard for me to tell. Although my dog began to tremble upon hearing the theme to Good, Bad, and the Ugly in the car. He looked interested in the ah-ee-ah-ee-ahhhh coyote calls in the song, though. My dogs usually just take naps while I play bass. Here's my pug sitting in my lap while I play, back in the old days: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Probably not there hearing is so much more acute I doubt if it sounds the same. My dog is 16+ years old and getting pretty deaf not sure how much music he even hears anymore, but if anyone opens a food wrapper within 500 feet he sure hears that...

DAS44 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm not sure but whenever I play anything that's clean (BB King style, Jazz etc) my dog always comes over and plops down next to my amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Animals absolutely hear and like music. I had a cat that liked rock and roll but didn't care for jazz. True story. He would sit in front of the stereo. Had another cat that liked to play instruments. Besides being pretty good at hitting the piano keys in time with the music, she liked to pounce on the drum pedals and liked to pluck my guitars and bite on the headstocks while they vibrated. These dogs here now like to come up and watch me play. They get all attentive and wag their stub tails. Had also 2 dogs that BEGGED AND WHINED when I tried the clarinet. It was that bad.

LarryUK Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 My Frankie sings to tunes. Things with 'high pitch' send him off on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 My Frankie sings to tunes. Things with 'high pitch' send him off on one. lashurst !! your "Frankie" is a spitting image of the young version of my "Rocky" ^5 to you! all 6 of our dogs gather around and lay in various spots about the livingroom and take turns between napping and watching me EVERY time I plug in.......my spkr cab is 5 feet off the floor so the vibration doesn't hurt their ears, and they really seem to love it when I play. oddly though, when I get out an acoustic, my senior citizen (Rocky) is the only one that stays with me, and thats because we're absolutely inseperable.

Silenced Fred Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 When I'm playing through the Sunn, the cats stay away, but follow me into the basement. Its just so damn loud. If I'm playing acoustic or through a little amp, they will hang out with me while I play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 My first wife had a big black cat (18#), Angus, that loved blues music. Whenever I would be listening to some old style mudbone blues he would jump up in my lap lay down. He didn't do that for any other kind of music.

Artie Owl Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I am petless right now (in an apartment) but when I open the window and play a bunch of European Sterlings sit in the tree outside and seem to stay there until I'm done, so take from that what you will, I think they dig it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Our chihuahua used to come in and lay at my feet when I played. One of our poodles comes in an lays on the couch when I play now, but the other one doesn't. I'm gonna have to say some do and some don't. Maybe they'd like it better if I played classical.... /chuckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I've teased about the cat vomiting on the living room rug when I tried to teach myself how to fiddle, but it's only a half joke. He just left the room. Yeah, I think animals respond to music. In fact, I think it's been fairly well documented. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
