What sorts of music do cats respond to?

My Bert, years ago, got hit by a car and streaked back into the house with a broken jaw. Mom and I grabbed him and sped off to the emergency vet. He was okay, thank goodness, but had to have his jaw wired shut. Mom and I were going across the desert to my grandma’s the next day, so we took him with us.

On the drive across Bert waaaiiilllled. Poor baby. His jaw hurt and he couldn’t open his mouth and he was in the car and life was HORRIBLE and we were HORRIBLE and everything was HORRIBLE. In desperation mom put in a cassette tape of Jim Croce’s Greatest hits. Bert immediately stopped wailing and started purring and slept. It was like flipping a switch, I swear. When the tape finished Bert woke up and started wailing again. Curious, mom started the tape and Bert quieted again.

To grandma’s and back took 6 playthroughs of that album. SIX. Good thing everyone in the car liked Croce.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.
