(27,677 posts)8. Thanks to modern technology, cats can finally enjoy TV with us
New technology in television sets produces a faster flicker refresh, which makes it easier and more comfortable for dogs and cats to process what they see and identify the picture as moving instead of a bunch of still images that flicker. However, what cats see is different from what dogs are able to see. Felines have a sharper focus than dogs, and their pupils react faster giving them the ability to process visual information better than us or dogs, which is why they see better at night.
Dogs are also at a disadvantage when it comes to judging depth perception something cats rely on when getting ready to pounce on a mouse. But when it comes to detecting motion and night vision, both dogs and cats are much better than we are. Cats have a little better color vision than dogs and can detect blues, greens and yellows. So what youre watching, the brightness of the picture, and motion all matter when it comes to grabbing your pets interest.
With newer TVs, dogs and cats can likely see images on the tube in the same way they view the world, but whether or not a pet watches whats on the screen depends on the individual animal. The only time my dogs pay attention is if they hear howling or barking dogs, although my moms dog would race to the TV when his favorite commercials were on and sing along with the jingle. For the most part, none of my dogs pay attention to what were watching. My cat Jabbers, however, will watch TV for long stretches including commercials. He especially enjoys programs with birds and other animals, and car commercials that show speeding vehicles making sharp turns.
