Soothe feline anxiety and enrich their environments.

Cats are very sensitive to changes in their home environment. Interruptions like strangers, different food, additional animals, loud noises, illness, etc. can have a huge impact on their ability to adapt to stress. Cats prefer their homes to be stable and consistent. While that might be the feline ideal, we humans are always in motion, and physical stability is not always something we can offer to our beloved kitties.

Our Cat Calming offers a solution. Using sound therapy techniques from neuroscience clinics, we use music to create a structure of stability that is specifically designed for soothing the feline nervous system. The rearranged 3-hours of classical piano music on Cat Calming reduces stress in chaotic and unsettling environments. With the addition of sonic anchoring, the music brings the consistency needed for feline health and behavior.

Stimulation uses music to fill their sensory quota and arouse the nervous system. From soft and slow to fun and fast, these soundtracks provide a high-frequency diet, adjusted to a cat’s ability to hear three times higher than humans. Instrumentation of these re-arranged classical tunes include piano, flute, and cello. Stimulation brings play to the cat household… a vitally important element for all domesticated cats.

Noise Phobias is the only therapeutic sound program designed specifically for acclimating kittens and cats to the human environment. It’s sonic inoculation for cats, designed to help the ones who are fearful of common sounds. In Noise Phobias, everyday household and outside sounds are intermixed with beautiful and slow classical music, entraining calm with every day noise. This kind of auditory training helps prevent, and re-pattern, noise phobias in cats or sensitivities in younger ones. By repeated listening, your cat will come to associate sounds of life in the human world with the calmness of your home.

Welcome to feline household bliss.

Why is environmental enrichment important for cats?

Since 2008, thousands of veterinarians and pet professionals worldwide have recommended the slow and simplified classical compositions of Through a Cat’s/Dog’s Ear. The breakthrough research behind TADE shows that the mammalian nervous system is extremely sensitive to sound — and that special arrangements of classical music have a profound soothing impact on anxious pets. This clinically tested feline music is formulated for your cat’s healthy behavior, as well as your discerning ear.

Outdoor cats, like their ancient relatives, are active. Within a large territory, free-ranging cats are naturally curious, always exploring and hunting for food. Interaction with other cats is common, and ferals are always on the lookout for dogs! Indoor cats, however, are removed from those primal drives and with little to do, passivity sets in.

As per The American Association of Feline Practitioners, “Many behavioral and physical disorders that are seen in cats are often secondary to stress from lack of appropriate stimulation.”

Sensory environments are known to shape nervous system organization from young kitten to late-teens. In response to the desire for healthy and strong house cats, research of sensory stimulation to replace external input ramped up in the early 1990s. All signs since point to the importance of environmental enrichment to preserve optimal physical and mental feline health. With indoor cats, enrichment strategies include animate interaction with other cats, dogs, and people, as well as the inanimate use of toys, physical space (high structures, textures, places to hide), and sensory input (eyes, ears, nose, taste).

Stimulation is music designed to fill this sensory deficit for indoor cats. Our goal is to arouse cognitive and physical function. Using the principles of resonance, entrainment, pattern identification, we go in the opposite direction of Calming. This album employs high frequency instrumentation, complex melodic patterns, increasing tempos, and frequency modulation (“arousing” frequencies are enhanced, and “soothing” frequencies are decreased).

Noise Phobias contains 1-hr of bioacoustically-designed calming music. It is formulated for both calming and acclimation to human-made sounds, using sound therapy techniques from our producer’s work in human neuro-developmental clinics. We use specially-arranged soothing classical music, which provides a sonic foundation of calm, before gently introducing household and outside sounds. This communicates to cats that the home, and all our various human sounds, is a place of safety and security.

Repeated playing of Noise Phobias will gently introduce your cat to common noises. It is also designed to help acclimate older cats who are already reactive to certain sounds. Regardless of age, we strive to build a conditioned response of positive association. Kitty will come to recognize and remember these sounds as part of a peaceful home environment. When actually confronted with these sounds without the music, there will be recollection, but without any of the fear.
