Spotify unveils playlists for pets

By Zack Budryk - 01/16/20 04:01 PM EST



Spotify on Wednesday announced a playlist generator specifically for users' pets.

The music streaming service’s “Pet Playlist” website presents users with five options — cats, dogs, iguanas, birds or hamsters — and asks for a rough overview of the animal companion’s personality traits, with the option to upload a picture and the pet’s name.

“There is something uniquely special about the relationship we humans have with our pets — it’s one filled with unconditional love, licks, snuggles, and cuddles. It’s hard to put into words the emotion these animals give us — other than pure happiness,” the service said in an announcement. “So it’s only natural that we want to make them feel good, too, and many pet owners believe they do exactly that with music.”

Can we pay for it with cat cookies?

My dog is a cow dog, so he's a redneck... Likes KHNK FM (HANK Country) just fine... I have never had him complain about it even once.

I don’t have Spotify. I’ll have to check it out.

I wonder what Grumpy Cat would listen to.

Adopt a puppy or kitty from your local shelter
Or an older dog or cat. They're true love❤️

Grumpy Cat would listen to death metal. And GWAR.

I’m not sure whether this is complete mishegos or I should get in on it. Or both.

My dog is a Beagle, so I guess the Peanuts Theme (Charlie Brown) song will work just fine. She probable would like it in a train whistle key.

I had two cats who did not get along.  They would be swatting each other and I would put on The Three Tenors.  All of a sudden, the fight would be over, they would go to their neutral corners and sit quietly, listening to the music, then go to sleep. 

Who knew there were cats who liked opera?

LOL! I get that... I usually have had Malamutes... They dig the train horn too... A sort of harmony ensues... Oddly enough, me playing the accordion produced the same result  :shrug:
