For the record, cat composer David Teie is not a cat. He is an adult human man. And although Teie is most certainly not a cat, he makes some excellent music for felines. Teie is a cellist for the National Symphony Orchestra and a composer who lives in Washington, D.C. Teie's interest in composing for animals started with an interest in how humans hear music. Teie has released two volumes of music for cats that uses "feline-centric sounds" like bird noises and purring to interest kitties.
