Cats purr to their own music

VIENNA (Reuters) - Is your cat bouncing off the walls, in need of
serious relaxation? Then tune in to a little music designed to soothe
the fussing feline.

Animal behaviourist Hermann Bubna-Littitz, professor at the Veterinary
University of Vienna, said the music was designed to lull cats into a
pleasant, relaxed state.

"We were able to prove with guaranteed statistics that our house cats
sought out the proximity of the loudspeakers when we played this
music...and the tendency towards aggressive behaviour declined," he
said in a statement on Thursday.

"Music for Cats and Friends" features electronically-composed numbers
such as "Moonlight Walk", "Endless Time" and "Coming Home". The two
compact discs retail at 19.50 euros (12.40 pounds) each.

The producers at www.petsandmusic.com are not planning a cover version
for dogs.
