Singing to my cat is one of the only reliable methods to make her get up and leave T_T

I have played guitar for over 20 years, and I'm pretty solid. As soon as I reach for my guitar, my cat runs and hides.

Mine comes and helps me tune it. We have some different options on how it's supposed to be turned however.

That's because she loves you.

I once almost had an album deal, in that rare a singer, but apparently the CIA found some babies that were willing to cry for free.

I’ll do everyone a favor- including the cats in my life- and leave the singing to others.

I've been able to reproduce these findings in my own home experiments.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I have expanded upon the original experiment and concluded that dogs are similarly affected.

"All the proof I need"? I don't think so. There must be even more studies! Peer review! Blind tests! That sample size is wayyyyyy too small.

Luckily, I'm positive that this community is willing to help expand on that study with their own fluffy participants ;)

I have successfully reproduced these results many times for years. Also effective on cats belonging to relatives, friends, strangers, themselves and in any location indoors or outdoors.

Evidence: Brooklyn bodega kitty loves being sung to (those are love nibbles!)

One of mine is a howler but if I sing to her she listens and slow blinks at me. Her favorite is a gina gershon song, lost at sea or something.

[-] Zippit@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

My song is about how my cat's mother created her in her belly just for me.

Actually it translates into: your mother birthed you especially for me baby, she kneaded your dough especially for me, or something like that.

Slow blinks every time :)

the same study showed they actually prefer songs about little fishies

Adorable and relatable.

And they decide in their tiny brains to stay your execution for one more week.

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I think mine takes it day by day, She is not a generous God.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

This isn't her actual name, but I call my cat "Muffin Sweetie" and I know she appreciates how fucking cute that is.
