In the study, the cat songs were played back to 47 domestic cats, and the researchers watched how the felines reacted compared to when they listened to two classical human songs - Johann Sebastian Bach's Air on a G String and Gabriel Fauré's Elegie.
Publishing in the journal Applied Animal Behavioural Science, the team reported that the cats didn't respond at all to the human music.
But when the cat music started up, they became excited and started approaching the speakers, often rubbing their scent glands on them, which means they were trying to claim the object.
While composing music for cats may sound pointless, the research could offer new ways to keep cats calm in shelters, boarding homes and vets
