Frank Dropped the Needle on Their Favorite Old Record. Snowdrop Looked Up.
Golden sunset light slips through the window and warms the whole living room. Frank, in a navy sweater, and Ruth, in her green cardigan, sit close together on the floral sofa, both smiling as an old record turns slowly on the wooden turntable in front of them. A crate of albums leans against the cabinet nearby. Snowdrop has spread her magnificent white fluff across the table right beside the record player, front paws stretched out, and she's tilting her head back to gaze up at the ceiling with a dreamy, faraway look, as though she's listening to something only she can hear.
Cats have far more sensitive hearing than people, able to pick up higher frequencies, so music sounds quite different to them. Soft, gentle music at a moderate volume tends to be fine for most cats, while loud or bass-heavy music can be stressful. A record player also offers a tempting moving target, so it's wise to keep curious paws away from the spinning platter and needle, both for the cat's safety and the record's. Norwegian Forest Cats are usually laid-back and social, and many will happily lounge wherever the family gathers, especially if there's a soft, elevated spot to claim.
Whatever song is playing, it has clearly set the mood for all three of them. A sunset, an old favorite album and a cat lost in thought make for a perfect evening at home.
