It used to make me laugh when my cats would try to get down the back of the TV to look for the bird/mouse/whatever that was on the screen!

This is amazing that a cat or dog will pause paw or fixate on box lights ....my Service Cats still wonder a bit about their mirror images and prefer my imitation sounds to audible cats on tv. ...are you really nick naming 4-5 year old primates ? Ask Jane Goodall this inter-species question please

My cat mopes all day until the kids come home. The ferrets follow me everywhere they have this curiosity to check everything. Dogs stand at the back door wait to be fed they are addicted to milk bones like a addict to heroin. The leghorn chickens all come when I open the coop all the others chickens are afraid except the one rooster want to fence some times. Ducks all quack and carrie on for the food. Rabbits don't do much just run around.

My dog is lying with me on couch but she doesn't watch the tv. She goes out on her own-I have an acre fenced in and she has doggie friends next door to run with up and down the fence.
