If your cat is stressed, nervous or aggressive, it won’t hurt to consult a specialist, but you can try to help the animal yourself.

It turns out that music therapy can bring a cat's upset feelings back to normal.

The influence of music on the behavior of cats was studied by researcher Miguel Carreira from the University of Lisbon.

The experiment involved 12 cats. The author of the study put small headphones on them and turned on music. The tracks belonged to different genres and were turned on randomly.

As a result of the test, it was found that the whiskered and striped ones responded best to classical music.

The pop tracks left the subjects emotionless, but the heavy guitar music made them anxious.

So, if your pet is a nervous type, often and easily gets stressed, and sometimes demonstrates aggressive behavior in everyday situations, try turning on the classics for him.

The best choice would be works written by Handel.
