Rita Reimers on Pet Life Radio

We’ve all heard that music soothes the savage beast, but what can soothe our family housecats? David Teie, a solo Cellist for the National Symphony Orchestra, has the answer. David has brought science and music together in a unique combination to create Music for Cats.

It took David over 4 years to create this music, which is intended to speak to cats in a way that only their brains would understand. In a quote from his website: “He contends that every species has an intuitive biological response to sounds based on their brain development and vocalizations.”

Two independent studies, conducted at the University of Wisconsin and the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine, concluded that David Teie’s Music for Cats has a significant impact on decreasing stress levels in cats. Linda and Rita have been using David’s music for years, and their cats agree: this really works! (Rita can often be found napping with her cats while they listen to David’s music.)
