There are, I’ve discovered, a number of YouTube channels that produce videos for dogs and cats to watch. And yes, some of them do watch. This channel just happened to be the first one I stumbled across today and, curious, I cast it to my big screen. The sounds alone created a soothing outdoor ambience, but all those critters moving around definitely caught the eye of my cat Rowdy. He’d watch from a distance, creep up close to the screen, watch from there, try vainly to catch a critter, and then leave for a few minutes. But he kept coming back, as if to make sure everything was as he left it. Canine Charlie, on the other hand, remained completely oblivious. I guess you can’t please everybody.
Appearing today were ground squirrels (with the striped faces), chipmunks (the chubby ones), Clark’s nutcrackers (big gray bird with black wings), chickadees (little black-capped birds), flashes of other small birds, and a stuffed bunny dressed in purple. Soundtrack provided by a host of species.
Rowdy is simply gorgeous – wotta coat !!! I’m sure Charlie is wiser, though .. 😀
You sure know the way to my heart … praise my pets! 😀
But my deah – you know our minds are in tune ! 🙂 I took Boodie to the vet yesterday and he was praised excessively .. and yet I accepted it with great pleasure. How we love them, and how they reward our love with their own !!
Amen to that!
Yes, very calming. And I’m sure my cat would love it too.
By the time I got this post working right, the birdsong from the video was making me a little crazy. The videographer must live in an aviary!
that is so funny but I know it to be real – nice and calm
It was for the first hour or so.
Your cat is staring at this screen..LOL Anita
It’s either that or he sits on the keyboard and stares at me.
Rowdy be a regal beast. Is he the boss of the abode?
I dunno. What do you think?

(Damn, I can’t even embed an image anymore … )
Ah, there we go. All it took was yet another WP add-on. I hate what’s been done to WP in the last year or two.
I haven’t shown any of those to Hershey, but he goes nuts when the woodpeckers attack the siding outside his window. So guess he and Rowdy have those cat minds fine-tuned!
I wonder if Hershey can pick out the woodpecker sounds I hear in parts of this video.
(Woodpeckers on the siding. Now there’s a maintenance problem I’d never thought of.)
Cats, I love cats…good post too 🙂
Thx, and welcome to Pied Type. Yep, kitties are nothing if not entertaining.
