Yes, it's Daisy getting her nails trimmed.

Both are adorable.

Weird question: have you ever played xylophone music around them? My girls would chill and purr whenever they heard some chill xylophone parts in songs.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We have not.

They seem to enjoy classical music.

They don't like rock or jazz.

One year when I was setting up the tree for Christmas, I was playing Christmas music and they reacted like something was going to kill them.

My wife and I noticed that they hate every phone notification sound. They aren't afraid, but they'll make their angry sound whenever they hear it.

Likewise for the little sound the Roku makes every time you press a button on the remote. When I'm trying to pick a movie, it's like the guinea pig version of "quit it!" every time I move to the next part of the list.

Haha, it was always classical xylophone music. They quite liked Toccata.
