Cats are observant creatures with sharp eyesight. Therefore, it’s only natural for them to enjoy sightseeing even through a screen. Whether through a television or a computer screen, you can show these videos for cats to watch – and see how your kit would react to them!
5 Videos for Cats to Watch (and Possibly Dogs, Too!)
- A Fun Video of Mice – for Your Mouser to Enjoy
Cats have a knack for hunting mice. But unless you have a mouse or rat infestation in your home, the best thing you can do for your mouser – for now – is have them watch a video of mice frolicking in and out of a very familiar hole in the wall!
Clue: it’s a 1940 animated short media franchise created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera! That’s right – it’s Tom and Jerry!
Have your little mouser watch the video so they’d get a chance to portray one of the most popular cartoon cats!
- An Animated Video of Mice – and Lots of Squeaks!
If you – the cat owner – aren’t fully on board with the idea that your cat watches real mice, you can have your kit watch animated cartoon mice instead. This video that was uploaded on YouTube has black mice constantly walking across the screen at different paces – and from different directions!
The video also includes audio of what sounds like mice squeaking – which can also add to the enjoyment of your cat when they watch it. Your cat might even tap your screen if they get too excited!
Now, your cat probably won’t decipher that they are indeed watching mice, but it’s a fun game for them to try watching nonetheless!
3. Bird Watching for Cats
Yet another favorite pastime that your cat can enjoy (in the comfort of your own home): bird watching! This video has beautiful birds of various vibrant colors. If you want to stimulate your kitty’s vision, you can have your cat watch it.
The video is 8 hours long and you’ll also hear the mellow chirping of the birds and relaxing sounds of nature. If you have a pet – whether it’s a cat or a dog – with separation anxiety, this video can soothe them while you’re away!
But if you simply like nature, you can also watch this video (or have it playing in the background) yourself! Calming videos are for everyone to enjoy.
4. Another Cat Game: Fishies for Kitties!
If you don’t mind your feline friend tapping (or smacking) your phone, computer, or TV screen, you can have them watch this video. The video is also another cat game that your cat might just enjoy. This time, the video consists of animated goldfish!
Unlike the previous cat game video – where the sounds consist of squeaks – this video has more gentle audio; you’ll hear the sounds of water instead. Because – well – they’re fish!
5. Cute Kittens Meowing
If you have a momma cat whom you’re trying to look for, you can play this video near the areas where you think she could possibly be. The video itself is a recording of a litter of adorable kittens – and their gentle, tiny little cries.
These kittens are possibly looking for their mom. If you play this video, it can get your own mommy cat running – as she’ll think it’s her own babies looking for her!
*Note: If your momma cat is always roaming, she’s possibly looking for food to provide for her kittens. When this happens – especially when it constantly happens – you can ask your veterinarian if she and her kittens can switch or add more food to their diet. But never, ever punish your cat for wandering – it’s her instinct to hunt for food for her babies!
Overall…
Cats need entertainment, too! You can play these videos for cats to watch if you’re too busy to play with them. Furthermore, if it’s too hot, cold, or rainy for your cat to come to play outside, they can enjoy these adorable videos on your screen – for the time being.
