Firstly I'm really sorry about your cat passing, I was devastated when my cat passed. Music always helps me also with my anxiety and sometimes bleak obsessive thoughts. It's weird like I can feel it coming but I can't stop it and it's exhausting but I just have to ride it but anyway, the answer is yes, music (just so happens it is usually bm or sometimes classical) always helps to take me some place better emotionally and where I can identify.
