Appreciate? Not sure about that.
Respond to? Absolutely.
It has been known for years that music will cause milk cows to produce more milk.

Yes.
The rousing, patriotic sweep of Elgar's Nimrod, the mournful tones of Nessun Dorma and the urgent eight-note allegro con brio opening to Beethoven's fifth – they have all been helping animal behaviour experts to make life more comfortable for the elephants at Belfast zoo in UK.

Animals share the same basic nervous system that we do. There is variation, of course, in the frequencies that they can hear, and how acute their hearing is. Your cat, however, must be tone deaf or have very poor taste if it likes Stevie Wonder. Cats with taste like Bach.
Ahhhh, don't listen to those guys!! Stevie Wonder is awesome!
But yes, animals can appreciate music as well as we can - ever hear the old addage "music soothes the savage beast"?
My cats seemed to like bass heavy music: when I practice my dj setlist, both of my cats (most of the time) will lay down on the speakers and feel the thumping. Conversely, they don't really enjoy metal music.
Anyhoo, I think it's cool your cat like Stevie and I believe that yes, they do enjoy music.
