Is it true that cats like to watch TV? Should you turn it on for your pets?
It is known that dogs can watch TV with their owners, and scientists have even managed to find out which programs they like the most.
How cats relate to television has been a mystery until recently.
Research on this topic was conducted by representatives of the Hill's Pet Nutrition company.
What was found out?
Even before this experiment, it was proven that cats are not much inferior to dogs in their development.
As for television, it attracts the attention of cats. At the very least, they follow what is happening on the screen.
Animals are attracted by movement and changing background colors, but they cannot draw conclusions from what is happening on the screen.
At least, this is the conclusion people came to.
At the same time, researchers drew attention to the fact that when they see a bird on the screen, some cats literally go crazy, while others pay no attention.
But this does not mean that you got a stupid cat that does not understand what is happening.
She just has a calm character, and her hunting instinct is dormant somewhere very deep.
By the way, experts often advise leaving the TV on if the animal is left alone at home for a long time.
The light and noise of the equipment working creates a familiar and calm atmosphere for the pet, just like when the owner is at home.
