We all know that we humans feel different kinds of emotions depending on the music we hear, but what do you think about animals?
Do they interpret melodies the same way, or do they think music is just a weird collection of random tunes?![]()

My macaw loves music. He's partial to Stevie Nicks. I don't think they relate to it on the level that humans do, but I'm sure they like some music because of the pleasant sounds.
I've always wondered the sme thing.
I'm sure that some animals do. Certain birds almost definitely.
Maybe a couple of my dogs can hear it.
I don't think cats can tell a difference, and I don't think that cows care.
Music probably affect different animals different ways. I don't know how exactly it'll affect them though.
My cat gets very relaxed when I listen to Tchaikovsky. But put on Brahms and, wow, it can get very angry indeed...![]()

My dog used to bark along to "Who Let The Dogs Out?"
Then she died.
Now I'm sad.
I miss my dog.
You meanie.
My cat is a reincarnation of Mozart, which reminds me that it's nearly time for me to dye his fur pink again.
He also appears to enjoy my singing, for what it's worth.
XD
I'd love to see that.
Now that I think about it, our cats actually seem to tell a difference between music and noise:
they run and hide if there's a terrible noise somewhere, but we could play The Beach Boys really loud, and still they went sleeping beside the loud-speakers.![]()
My Lucy (dog) used to fall asleep whenever she layed on my lap and I hummed any sort of soft music to her. I miss her.![]()
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Yes, I think some animals do. I also think it depends on the individial; all dogs don't care equally much for music, for example.

can you hear me in the void?
Humans are animals.![]()
My cats are so freakin' emo.
:mario::luigi:
Probably not, unless you're talking humongously lous death metal and sleeping monkeys. Probably makes them angry. =o
Kinda makes me want to blare some Children of Bodom while my cat is next to the speaker to see what happens.
