The affect of music on catsFeatured science projectScience project video
Conclusion

The hypothesis that the classical music makes the cats calm down faster is proven to be true.

Soothing and classical music is recommended by animal experts and veterinarians to help reduce destructive behaviors like frequent barking and hyperactivity in animals. There are many CD’s now available that specialize in the soothing sounds for cats and dogs.

Also consider

The experiment can also be done using recordings of different types of musical instruments like the piano, guitar or flute.

Try to compare the results by repeating the experiment using dogs.
