Do your cats enjoy listening to music, and if so, what kind?

One of my cats really loves dance/house music and rap. This would be great if I shared his musical tastes. I think he likes the loud and steady bass beats. When his music is played, he shows his approval by running to the speakers, cheek rubbing them, purring, etc. It's sweet and amusing at the same time.

Another cat doesn't seem to care or notice music, unless it's too loud. Then he hides.

I guess with respect to noises my cats are a couple of wussies...Daisy couldn't care less (though considering the bad ear infection she had, I AM happy that she hears ). Bob doesn't mind music coming from the stereo, but sometimes gets scared with the surround noises when I'm watching DVD's...You can just see a kitty jumping three feet from the ground every now and then...Too bad I LOVE watching thrillers and scary movies, MOL

I have to say that Boris doesn't pay attention to music much. And he is somewhat like karlacue's cat with the DVD and the surround sound. He gets really jumpy with the Star Wars DVD's and generally will go lie down on the kitchen floor away from the set. However, at times, we both have to laugh at him pawing at the people and objects on the tv screen. He just can't figure out why he cannot feel them.

Hmmm, I'm trying to picture my cats reaction to surround sound. I assume there'd be a lot of looking this way and that, and that way and this again.

Mine tend to scatter when they see me going toward the stereo with a CD in hand. They know that means dancing with kitty time and they don't like dancing with me for some reason. I think it has something to do with the fact that I tend to try and sing along and my cats have told me in no uncertain meows that my singing sounds like a chicken in heat.
As long as I keep the volume to a minimum, they will walk around and rub the speakers, but if I turn the volume up, they scatter.
Just curious, do any others of you pick up your cats for a dance partner or am I the only lunatic out here??

I dance with my kitties. They don't seem to like it though. They start to push their feet away and turn their head back...

Sometimes I turn on the stereo while I'm taking a shower and turn it up really loud so I can hear it in the bathroom. There's a lot of singing involved, and just a tad bit of my attempts at dancing.

The cats just kind of give me a look saying that if they knew what rolling their eyes meant, they would each and every one be doing it. "Here she goes again...."

I didn't say this. But yes. We dance. OOOOPS.
