Product Description

Give your cat calm… that’s all they need.

Cats love consistency. It calms them, they don’t do well even with little changes. The gentle and recurring music of Cat Calming creates a familiar sensorial space and anchors a peaceful home environment. Cat Calming is specially-designed classical music that provides stability for stressed animals.

Specially designed, clinically-tested music improves pet’s quality of life.

Music for calming stressed cats

Our sensory environments can be very confusing to best furry friends. People know how to de-stress when it all gets to be too much. However, our animals don’t do yoga or go out to the movies. Especially in non-natural environments, pet stress often leads to illness and difficult behaviors.

Simple Sound

The over-arching psychoacoustic theory informing iCalm music is summed up in just two words — simple sound. This term refers to the process of minimizing intricate auditory information found in most music. The music of Cat’s Ear is intentionally selected, arranged and recorded to provide easeful auditory assimilation.

Since the 2008 release of Through a Dog’s Ear, requests for music designed for cats have been constant. As a research-based organization, we’ve demurred; there has been minimal scientific examination of music and sound with cats. However, research by Dr. C.A. Tony Buffington (2011, Ohio State University) caught my attention. While studying feline interstitial cystitis (a leading cause of euthanasia), researchers discovered a primary cause of this ailment: stress! Change in the cat’s physical environment–such as strangers, different food, additional animals, loud noises, etc.–is a major contributor. Cats prefer their homes to be stable and consistent. Acute feline stress turns into chronic irritation, manifesting in disease and behavioral challenges.

Calming is designed to reduce stress in a chaotic or unsettling environment. My sonic toolkit originates from sound therapies with neurodevelopmentally- challenged humans in which tone, tempo, and pattern are specially considered. Frequency ranges have been adjusted to a cat’s auditory range and a technique called sonic anchoring is included. With best of intentions, people bring pets into a human sensory environment and expect quick adaptation. Sometimes animals adjust easily… and many times they can’t. The goal of BioAcoustic Research is to understand and create positive auditory programs to help domesticated animals find balance.

Similar to people, each animal’s sensory perception is different. Also, what calms your cat one day may not calm him the following. For some cats, our soundtracks are magic. We continue to try new things with the knowledge that beautiful music won’t harm our beloved animals as we continue to learn and innovate.

What is the difference between the calming music for dogs and cats?

The use of Sonic Anchoring and Frequency Modulation (explained in detail below) in music for cats. Recent research by Dr. C.A. Tony Buffington (2011, Ohio State University) reported a primary cause of feline interstitial cystitis (a leading cause of euthanasia) is stress! Change in the cat’s physical environment—strangers, different food, additional animals, loud noises, illness, etc.—is a major contributor. Cats prefer their homes to be stable and consistent. Acute feline stress turns into chronic irritation, manifesting in disease and behavioral challenges.

We’ve brought consistency to cats with sonic anchoring.

What is Sonic Anchoring?

Our goal is to create a mental and emotional sense of safety that arises from familiarity. We accomplish this through a recognizable sequence of notes. While people hear these interludes as repeating melodic intervals, perhaps cats cognitively categorize this information as a familiar frequency matrix. Cats are not so much hearing the melody, but feeling a sequence of vibrational frequencies, particularly when they are lying near their iCalmCat. Like sensory information we instantly recognize – a favorite taste or aroma, our best friend’s voice, a mother’s touch–familiar sensory cues can have a profound and calming impact on the nervous system while providing psychological security.

What is Frequency Modulation?

To further focus the therapeutic impact, we’ve removed higher frequencies from the re-arranged piano music. Frequency modulation (FM) also takes place in the mid-and low-frequency ranges. Essentially, by reducing or boosting specific nutrients of sound, the resonance affects the nervous system. Through progressive FM, “arousing” frequencies are reduced and “soothing” frequencies are increased.

What’s the difference between iCalmCat Calming and Through a Cat’s Ear: Music to Calm?

iCalmCat (iCalm sound card format) is an expanded three hours of calming music specially designed for cats. When played on the on iCalmCat player, it automatically auto-repeats. The CD, Through a Cat’s Ear Vol. 1, is 1 hour of music and auto repeat only if your CD player is set on that function.

What if I have a dog and a cat?

Dogs and kitties alike often enjoy each other’s music. How can you tell? Observe your dogs and cats. Do they show any preference for either iCalmDog or iCalmCat? You can also mix it up and play both for both species.

Consider the iCalmCat series an adjunct to wonderful enrichment programs. Used together, you can exercise your cat’s innate animal instincts while keeping her safe and sound—purring on the corner of your bed and chasing your playful toes.
