Cats like Mozart?

I've noticed that whenever I play the piano and the cat is asleep in the room, he immediately gets up and leaves.

However, if i play mozart he gets up and sits and watches... almost as if he's listening to the music?

Just wondering what all your thoughts on this idea were and if any such studies have been conducted into this area?

Ferret,

This proves only one thing:

Your cat is awesome.

My cat likes the acoustic bass guitar, but not the nylon strings.

She likes it best when I just play the low E string, and purrs at the sound of f#.

In my experience:

Cats do not like Eb Clarinets.

Dogs do not like piccolos.

Try playing lots of kinds of music and see how it reacts.

My siamese cat almost always sits by me on the piano stool when I play anything that is not too loud.

My cat likes to sit on the bass note keys of my piano (while I'm playing) and my dog sits on my foot while I'm trying to use the sustain pedal...so piano practice at my house gets very awkward.

It seems reasonable that a cat would enjoy some sounds more than others, but it's also a very reasonable explanation that at least part of this is simply confirmation bias. Actually I would be very surprised if it's not.
