Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2006sounds for company
I was wondering if anyone knew some streaming station, like on shoutcast, that might play just nature sounds or something like that? Just thought it would be nice to pipe out for Dino during my work hours to give him some stimulation. >I was wondering if anyone knew some streaming station, like on > shoutcast, that might play just nature sounds or something like that? > Just thought it would be nice to pipe out for Dino during my work hours > to give him some stimulation. Don't know about sounds, but do you have a window seat for him? For maybe $20 you can get one of those shelves that attached to the window sill, and this will keep Dino contented.

They put new windows in my apt. and it has quite an uncomfortable divider in the middle for a cat to lay down on. > >I was wondering if anyone knew some streaming station, like on > > shoutcast, that might play just nature sounds or something like that?

Heat costs too much to leave the windows open 8 hours a day. > >I was wondering if anyone knew some streaming station, like on > > shoutcast, that might play just nature sounds or something like that?

One is at a picture window, and they will sit there, watch the squirrels, birds, rabbits, and at night, raccoons & possums! The other is at one of our bedroom windows, and right outside is a finch feeder that only seems to attract goldfinches. I can always tell when there are lots of birds on the feeder without even looking out the window by the number of cat-heads staring with rapt attention out the window. This window opens, but it's getting cooler now so it's not being opened. However, it faces east and gets the morning sun. After I open the blinds in the morning, there's a rush to see which cat get's the "heat lamp" window seat! Among all my other cats, there are 3 black ones - and I wonder how they don't burst into flames after they've been laying in the sun for hours, they get that hot (makes me feel bad for the almost-all-white cats as they don't get that same effect when they lay in the sun like that)! >>> I was wondering if anyone knew some streaming station, like on >>> shoutcast, that might play just nature sounds or something like [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> -- >> Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com > But I would like some entertainment, for the winter.

I have this one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=13035&N=2002+113199 The one without the heater. The fleece is nice, you can wash it. You can get these for $20 at Walmart or Target. No hardware necessary. SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Hmm great suggestions both. I know he loves hopping on ironing board looking things like that. But it doesn't seem the same when the windows are closed, muffled so much. > > But I would like some entertainment, for the winter.

SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Mine too, though I think hearing and smell might be at least as big a part of the package, but all those psychos may be a bit different :) > > Hmm great suggestions both.

I can tell because of the way Gracie races to get to her window seat when I hear a bird call. Lately I have had a confused woodpecker bothering the corner of the house where we sleep, and there is no window nearby. It drives her crazy! She keeps staring into the corner by the dresser! You know, there are all kinds of nature recordings in the "New Age" category, maybe next time you are in a music store you might look there.
