I've been doing this for many years, bringing the outside sounds
inside for my inside only cats. The easiest way is to use a
baby/infant room monitor. You put the microphone part outside a
window or door where it won't get wet, and put the receiver part
inside your room/house. If you know an electronics techie friend, he
(or she) can easily connect the receiver to a powered computer
speaker. That makes a much better sound.

My new male cat, kitty has been here about one year. At the moment he
is lying less than one foot from the speaker with his ear pointing at
it. I think he likes it. They all do. Sometimes it takes some
perception, other times it is easy to tell. Keeping the volume very
low at first is a good idea.

Don't expect inexpensive room monitors to transmit more than 20 or 30
feet. My cheap Fisher-Price room monitor is clear at short range, and
sounds great connected to a computer speaker.

Have fun.

Huh?  That sounds like a good idea.  What's your problem with it?

All I saw was a question about ferals, which I replied to.

OK, I looked at some others.  He seems like an ordinary cat person.  He
doesn't like you, but then do you expect everyone to?  Your behavior is
a bit outrageous, even you must acknowledge.

Now then, was this justified by my "outrageou" answer to him that
I might worry about the cat hanging?  Or this, to Brandy:

That's your experience with toys hanging from the ceiling?

So you throw up your hands as if you're helpless to do anything
about it. As if there is no way to adapt, you are a victim of
circumstance? Must be rough having to take everything the way you
buy it without being able to modify anything. But seriously, I guess
it's good to know, I feel so capable.
