The mighty hunter prowls around the house, seeking its prey, and pouncing everything that moves. Look out! Because a bored kitty quickly turns into a naughty kitty. Before you know it, your cat is pouncing your toes, biting your nose, and climbing the curtains simply because it is bored. But you can easily entertain your killer kitty with a little bit of television. But what? What do cats like to watch on Netflix?
Surprisingly, cats enjoy a variety of kitty-inspired entertainment. To occupy your cat, look for YouTube videos featuring the best cat entertainment: birds, rodents, fish, and toys. You can try out a variety of shows for your cat to see what they like best.
In this article, we’ll look at what your feline friends will enjoy on your television. We’ll talk about Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime. But first, let’s look at why cats might enjoy tv.
Why do cats watch tv?
My friend’s beloved cat waits patiently every day for her daughter to open her laptop and turn on Kitty Tube. A cat’s prey instincts mean exciting sounds, and flitting pictures easily capture its attention. So if you can find a show your kitty loves to watch, you might just capture her attention for hours! Just beware your hunter doesn’t instinctively pounce your television or your laptop!
Test out a few different types of shows for your kitty to see what attracts their attention best. Maybe your cat prefers the excitement of chatting birds flitting around, the soothing swim of fish, or mice and squirrels running in all directions. Maybe your anxious kitty needs some relaxing music while you are at work, or perhaps your bored kitten would benefit from chasing a few fake strings on your iPad screen.
Cat television is an excellent source of entertainment for indoor cats. If your cat does not have access to a window for bird watching or other cats for company, a cat-related show might be just the thing to keep them entertained and happy.
No matter what your cat prefers, there is a show for everyone! Even some Netflix for you and your feline friend to enjoy together.
