When I visited the SF SPCA on saturday I got to take a tour of the "cat wing" of the adoption center. Every cat has its own little apartment, the size of a medium-sized closet with at least one glass wall and lots of human & cat furniture. This all makes it a really nice enviroment for the cats to live, and a really fun place to come to adopt a cat. But what really struck me was that the cats had really nice stuff. One of the cats had an aquarium with tiny guppies in it, and another cat had a TV. The cat with a TV was watching this video of birds eating out of bird feeders. I'm fucking serious.

Unless of course there were bird sounds coming out of it, or loud scary noises.

the cat was not in fact watching the TV, the cat was licking itself and looking the other direction, at the 20 people gathered outside its cell.
but it had a TV, and the TV had a tape of a birdfeeder in it, whether or not the cat was paying attention.
