While classical music isn’t for everyone, there’s no questioning that classical composers helped to define our modern-day musical landscape.
Like humans, cats are sometimes hard to understand and appreciate classical music. However, classical musicians tend to be very compassionate people who care about animals.
Perhaps if you play classical music for your feline companion they will start to appreciate classical music in time!
