Cats and guitars

We've got two cats. One doesn't seem to mind my guitar at all, the other
can't stand it and belts out of the room as fast as possible when I pick it
up, even before I've started playing. (If she's asleep she wakes up and gets
out).

The funny thing is she doesn't seem to react to a recording of me playing.

I wonder if there are some frequencies which guitars make which don't get
reproduced on stereos but which annoy the hell out of her.

Or maybe she's just a cat with remarkably refined musical taste.

Same thing here.  One of my cats doesn't mind and the other cat is terrified
of the guitar.

I think it's just some large scary object making lots of noise and moving
around..

Mine used to do this. Either they got used to it or I've gotten better :)

Maybe it's the catgut.

Both of my cats bolted out of the room on the first chord. Maybe they
just hate "C"? They both died recently and I have two new ones but
haven't picked up the guitar for them. I'll give it a shot.
