She loved it, but it was an extra chore that I just couldn't keep up with. I also had a bird feeder out back at one point and all the cats loved watching that too. Fish tanks are like kitty tv for sure.

What I don't understand is how she can know that an animal is on TV when it is on "mute" and she is sound asleep? Can she see through her eyelids? It doesn't even need to be a cat or a dog, any animal walking will do.
