Do you leave the radio/TV on for your furry ones when you go out?

[DainBramaged]

Poll question: Do you leave the radio/TV on for your furry ones when you go out?

And on what channel/station? Or is there something else that you do that keeps them occupied?

[mykpart]

1. Usually on one of the news channels,

since they do a lot of talking, which makes her feel someone is there.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Of course.

The cats get to listen to Air America Radio all day.

[RandomKoolzip]

3. Yup. Sometimes I even leave it on for my pets, too.

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Nope

I used to, but she kept changing the station.

[CC]

5. Not for the furries

but if we are going to be gone a long time I leave the Cartoon Network on for the feathered ones. They love cartoons and keeps them from teasing the dogs and cats.

[Roon]

33. Oh, that is just too adorable!

eom

[kedrys]

6. TV, usually the SciFi channel

Caesar loves James Bond movies. If we tell him we're watching one, he'll find a good spot near us and watch with us. It's weird.

His favorite is GoldenEye. I think he has a crush on Fammke Jansen. :D

[deucemagnet]

7. Yes.

Scooter's favorite show was that PBS series about birds that David Attenborough did.

[mark414]

8. people really do that?

:shrug:

[Checkstub]

9. Yup, I tune it to Hannity...

for that green stuff in the ancient tupperware in the back of the fridge!:beer:

[displacedtexan]

10. How did you know?

My dogs watch the Food Network while we're out.

[DainBramaged]

11. I leave on Animal Planet

Sometimes Cartoon Network, but I've caught my cats sitting in front of the TV watching Animal Planet. The dogs like to bark at the sounds too. My dogs got their degrees in politics long ago.

[Richardo]

36. Animal Planet for us, too

But any shows with sirens will set them off.

Although I've been know to leave it on C-SPAN. The incessant drone of politicians can be very calming. :D

[MrSlayer]

12. No, my cats don't give a fuck.

Besides, why waste the electricity?

[patricia92243]

13. No, but my furniture is arranged so my four-legged baby can see out from the sofa and matching chair

[RFKHumphreyObama]

14. No, my late furry one used to be leave the room when the TV was on

Because he didn't like the noise.

[marzipanni]

15. I leave the radio on in the kitchen because I have it on a lot when I'm at home

and I think my dog Sally would feel that her environment is more normal than if the house was quiet. If she prefers it more quiet she can go to my bedroom, where her bed is.
On the 4th of July the fireworks display is at the park a couple of blocks away, and our dogs haven't enjoyed those loud sounds, so we leave two radios on to mask the sound.

[Critters2]

19. I love your sig graphic! nt

[otohara]

16. RadioParadise.com

[PeaceNikki]

17. No, but I leave PC powered up so kittty can play World of Warcraft

He's a fiend!!

[DainBramaged]

18. HAHAHAHA has she tried Guild Wars, much better game

[Tektonik]

20. heresy!

WoW is better than GW, I wonder how Warhammer is gonna be though

[DainBramaged]

31. I played DII and WOW for years and realized they are cartoons

Guild Wars is simply a game for thinkers, No Max-level or rune weapons.

Warhammer better be great it has too much Competition.

Be well

[Digit]

21. My parrot likes Sesame Street and Teletubbies

I would not dare leave the TV on a channel that had soap operas, as it would be disturbing to hear heavy breathing and groaning coming from my bird.

Not to mention it might be difficult to explain to company if she did decided to do a repeat performance.
:blush:

[DainBramaged]

32. I wish we had TeleTubbies in the halcyon days of the 60's

Oh my, and we thought Pink Floyd was god.

[Joe Fields]

22. Absolutely. How else is my puppy going to be able to

converse with me about world affairs?

[DainBramaged]

35. HAHAHAHA

My dogs were born in the Clintno years, they put their paws over their ears when they hear a RepubliCon.

[Joe Fields]

38. That reminds me of the movie "Where The Buffalo Roam," with

Bill Murray. When Hunter Thompson said the word "Nixon," his Doberman would go right after the crotch of a lifesized doll wearing a Richard Nixon mask.

[DainBramaged]

43. Wish we could secretly teach Barney to do that

[ganeshji]

23. Yes

The cats have their own DVD's with rats, mice, birds, and fish. I just drag their beds in front of the tv before I go and set their movie on loop.

[Venus Dog]

24. Usually the radio

Classical station - it makes them seem more intelligent:silly:

[VenusRising]

25. If we go on vacation we leave it on Animal Planet.

If we are going to the store, no. But that's just because we don't usually watch a lot of tv.

[Nikia]

26. He enjoys sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for us

We know this because we have seen him through the window on the occaisions that we have driven past our house when going multiple places. When my husband, who he likes better than me, goes out he often does this too even if I am watching television or listening to music. He'll usually end up falling asleep if he is waiting long enough.

[quiet.american]

27. Rumpole of the Bailey DVDs for my little ones. They love Leo McKern's voice. n/t

[bigwillq]

28. No (nt)

[DemoTex]

29. At home: sometimes. In a hotel/motel: ALWAYS.

With the TV on in a motel room, my dogs don't bark at anything. Without the TV noise they bark at any little sound. TV is a no-brainer doggy-sitter for travelling with your pet.


Nick-Nick

[cwydro]

30. Yes

I leave it on the weather channel, because I think they like the music. And hell, maybe they like to know the weather too, lol.

[hippywife]

34. Yep.

Our cat is an NPR addict. ;)

[Forkboy]

37. I hope all you people who said yes realize that you're insane.

:D

And hey...way to conserve energy too! :evilgrin:

[Initech]

41. Actually, I agree!

:silly:

[DainBramaged]

44. They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa. To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

To the happy home, with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're coming to take me away, ha-haa!!! To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time...

[merh]

39. Well duh, yeah.

I have found that when it goes off while I am gone (power glitches), I come home to a messed up place. They get all upset and trash things.

:freak:

[Initech]

40. No, my dogs usually go out and roam the back yard.

[MissMillie]

42. Yes, but I put the timer on it so it will go off in an hour or so

and I have it tuned to Animal Planet.

[MissMarple]

45. Have you ever observed cats watching a cat video?

Especially one with rats, it is hilarious.

[DainBramaged]

46. My fatso Picasso, LOVES my PC monitor and all the pretty colors
