Cats and horror music

Chris started to play 1950s horror music (movie themes and sound effects) in our living room.
Dracula, Tarantula… they were from orthodox horror movies. They remind us of Godzilla or Ultra Q, and it’s fun to listen to them!

Our cats usually don’t care when we watch TV or DVDs, listen to rock music or classical music, or even when we get mad at them. However…
When we heard howling beasts, they suddenly reacted to it.
‘Where is it, where, where? What’s this? What’s this?’
Especially Hachi, who has never lived outside, even reacted to the sound of strong wind; he ran upstairs, stared at something we don’t understand, peeped out the window: he was really busy.
By the way, they didn’t show any reaction to a lady’s scream.

They were unexpectedly entertaining for us, so that was why we took their photographs last night.
