Weekend Playlist: We Built This Kitty on Rock 'N' Roll

By Sophie Day in Arts & Entertainment on Mar 7, 2015 7:00PM

"Cats the musical" has taken on new life as the University of Wisconsin announces that a team of its researchers have created music designed to appeal to our four-legged friends. By applying the same frequency that cats use to communicate and mimicking the cadence of their purrs, the scientists were able to create melodies that the test cats proved to like more than the human music they are obliged to listen to day in and day out.

In honor of this announcement, our weekend playlist features songs written in homage to our furry favorites, though they probably won't like them as much the "Bach for Cats" originals.
