Every once in a while, just when we think that we have already seen the cutest cat videos that the internet has to offer, we encounter something so cute, so precious, so sweet, that our hearts simply melt. And today is one of those days. Listen, we already have a special place in our hearts for deaf kitties. The way that deaf cats meow too loudly because they don't realize their own vocal strength, the way that they don't let their disability stop them from enjoying every second of life. 

We love them. But seeing this deaf kitty enjoying music in such a unique way… made us somehow grow even fonder of deaf cats. Now, we already knew that some cats love music, but we did not, in any way, shape or form, think that deaf cats can be part of that group. The only thing that's missing from this video is… more. We just wish it would have been longer.

    This is not simply enjoyment. This kitty is experiencing pure and uninhibited peace. If we were this person, we would be doing this every day of our lives. Seriously, the peace radiating from this video is so intense it came through the screen and actually made us calmer. Please, we beg, make more videos like these.

    Rectangle - BrownShadow +2.1d My cat was deaf. He loved the vibrations from my sound system. I built it for outdoor events, but put it in my house after I stopped DJ'ing. That white deaf kitty loved it. Special sauce

    It must be such a fascinating experience for deaf cats - feeling these vibrations from music. We wonder if it feels like purring to them, if the vibrations soothe them the same way that purring does, if that's why so many cats seem to be attracted to it. Be right back, we're gonna try it with our cats.

    Font - wanking_to_got • 1d Mine isn't deaf but he's fascinated with all things stringy. Especially when it vibrates. delimonster 1d Reply 3.4k 1 Award My cat hates the guitar but loves the bass and 808s. If I even touch the guitar he'll run out of the room, but when I play bass or an 808 he'll sit on top of the monitor or fall asleep somewhere in my room. I figured it had to do with the frequencies and his hearing range but he might just be real as fuck.

    Smile - GW3g 1d I had a cat years ago that would come running in from where ever when I would start playing my bass. She would stick her teeth against the vibrating string and just let it vibrate her teeth. It was so weird and I've lived with a lot of cats and she was the only one to do it.

    Font - smalltowngirlisgreen +1.1d I had a cat that did the same. When my ex would play, he'd put his little fangs on the strings. He loved it. RIP Sidney Vicious

    Organism - wanking_to_got • 1d I tuck garden twine behind the cushions of the sofa and fasten it with my hand. He loves strumming it. Good idea with the rubber band. Need to try it.

    Rectangle - richard_stank 1d Beethoven was in a similar vein. Couldn't hear but had a metal rod connected to his piano that if he bit down on, would stimulate a specific muscle that was close to hearing. Probably similar situation.
