Composer David Teie has created an album of music solely for cats. The album was put together using actual science that proves cats react positively to the tunes. So far, he has raised £42,500 and is ready to release the album.

 

According to a scientific study published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science, David Teie, a cellist, has written two songs seven years ago, which elicited positive reactions from 77per cent of cats that heard them.

 

On his Kickstarter page , he explains: "In 2003, amidst my career as a classical musician, I developed a universal theory of music.

 

"I set out to discover why humans have an emotional response to music and found that it's tied to the sounds we heard when our brains are developing."

 

He published his findings in a book called Human Music, but he wanted to go further.

 

"If my ideas about the universal nature of music were correct, I figured I should be able to write songs that affect other species by taking into account the sounds they hear when their brains are developing.
