A
How to Look After Your Cat
Introduction
The first step to becoming a good cat owner is to choose the right kind of cat. It is how a cat behaves that is the most important, not what it looks like or how old it is. It is going to be your best friend. You will spend a lot of time playing together. But remember, you need to look after it every day. Not just to start with, but for all its life.
Understanding Your Pet
By watching your cat closely, you will learn its special way of talking. From the movement of its tail or ears, you will see if it is happy or sad. And you will soon understand what it is saying when it miaows.
Caring for Your Pet
You will only be your cat’s best friend if you care for it properly. You will need to make sure that it eats the right food, always has water and can get plenty of exercise every day. You will also have to bathe(给……洗澡) it often and spend some time training it.

B
Pets like dogs and cats are usually popular with people. If you keep a dog or a cat, do you always turn on the radio or TV when you’re not in just because you don’t want your pet to be lonely? A study shows that around 40% of British people with dogs would like to turn on the radio and that 32% would like to turn on the television. But do pets really like this?
Sometimes dogs do respond(作出反应) to human music. A study shows that when there is light music playing, many dogs are quiet. When it comes to rock music, those dogs are very excited; they make little response to popular music and human talk.
For cats, they hardly respond to human music because their hearing spectrum is different from that of humans. So what they hear when they listen to our music is different from what we hear. Some studies show that cats respond to the sounds within their own hearing spectrum. Scientists once tried to see what cats would do if they played “cat music” for them. They asked Professor David Teie to make special music for cats. And it showed that when they were playing it to 47 cats, some cats did respond to it.
So, you’d better play different music for your pets. Good news for cat lovers is that you can buy special cat music online. David Teie once took part in the cat study and he wrote cat music for sale online.
