I'd say any kind of music, if you play it when you feed them.

Personally, I believe that to some extent, this IS a matter of "To Each Their Own"...

By the same token, I think there MIGHT be something "hidden" within certain musical types.

I have special (song-snippet) RingTones for most every number in my PhoneBook.

Neither of my cats could give a hoot about ANY of them, with ONE exception.

Whenever Sarah Brightman, singing Nella Fantasia plays, my female cat just HAS TO HAVE her face up against the phone, eyes 'bugged-out', literally sniffing the thing!

That's all well-and-good, when the phone is lying on the coffee table... but I learned real quick to grab the phone immediately if it is on my hip (!) when said piece plays.

[ need I say, I haven't the heart to have 'em mutilated / declawed...]

Another interesting related article. Not only animals... how about plants? Teaser/starter. So are ears really the only way to "hear?"
