I’m practicing a performance for my music class and I’ve always wondered if I’m scaring them (although they don’t seem to care). I have rabbits if that changes anything, but a general answer around any pet would work

    I suppose pets get intonation. And if you’re looking at them or facing the music stand. Just keep an eye on them and their behaviour. I guess rabbits, dogs etc express how they feel with their body language. If you can read that, you’ll know.

    In my experience as a rabbit owner, they will thump at you and run off if you scare them.

      That’s definitely true! When I sing they all seem unbothered if not slightly interested in what I’m doing

    My BFF had this skill: whenever they sang an Elvis tune (like “Blue Moon”) their cats would start humping. They weren’t singing it weird, maybe a little more warbly than normal. Anyway, we were in this zoo once, and I said, “I wonder if that lion would react to your Elvis songs the same way your cats do!” I was just kidding, but my BFF started singing the same way and that lion suddenly became VERY alert and stared right at us. I started wondering if a properly motivated lion could leap that gap that was keeping us separated, and what I would do if it reached us. Anyway, my point is: it depends on how you sing it.

    When I cook I often sing and dance in the kitchen. This excites one of my dogs and makes her want to play. One of the ways she plays is to kinda run around sideways a bit wiggling her butt a lot while doing a yelpy growl and it’s like she is singing and dancing too.
