Listen to music with your pet
Written by Dr.Laxmi Iyer

When you,ve got paper trays, truck loads, or buckets full of work to complete ... you certainly know that play time with your pets is a few light years away. That's when your pets will look at you moony eyed wondering why you are so grouchy and grumpy. Even when you are facing those pressure points, there's still so much that you can do to keep your pets entertained. It's really simple and easy. Just switch on the radio. Does it sound like an awfully old fashioned thing to do in this high tech age of gadgets? Well, radio was never more in! So to say than now. And digital radio is catching up fast, in a big way.

Remember to move your radio to a point that's not easily findable. That means, your radio should not be where it normally is. Before your pets enter the room, shift the radio to some place really cool and remote. The kind of place which takes ages for your pet to discover.

All over Europe sounds waves are wearing a more colourful and jazzier look. High tech radio is booming! The prefix of digital is making radios the new rage! Conversation interspersed with music is the flavour of the moment. That could go well with your pets too! Because the conversation would sure make them feel curious about finding out who's talking?

If you are not quite so comfy with radio play music on your CD player or DVD player.
You can have cat centric music...and you know what that means. It could be the beautiful sound of a purr coming loud and clear on your music system or the harmonious tones of a meow! Cheerful and bright at varied pitches in sync with the melody that you are playing.

Nursery rhymes and children's songs are an ideal way to get your cats to sing along. If they don't or won't you can add the sound bytes of special effects to any tune that you are especially fond of and which you have seen your cat give the cat nod of approval to.

Presto! While your kitties are tracking out the source of the music, you can be busy doing your thing - whatever it is. Whether you are out working in the garden, attending to pending bills, catching up with your correspondence, chats, workouts etc. And you can complete all your work may be in less than a jiffy!

You can even try playing some healing Vedic chants. That could be great for both your pet and you. It would work as a terrific stress buster!

Whether it's jazz, rock, pop, classical, aboriginal, Red Indian, Indian, African, Japanese, instrumental, vocal ... whatever type of music you prefer, just switch it on and sing along - even while your brain puts on its thinking cap and gets busy at work.

Whoever said that music is divine food for the soul probably couldn't have summed up the great truths of the universe more wisely or concisely.
