Just checked it out. They played Prince's "Most Beautiful Girl in the World", followed by Van McCoy's "The Hustle". How do they know these are the songs dogs and cats prefer.
My cat Czarina seems to have a penchant for Opeth. She also seems to like Schubert. Good choices, both.
On the 'dog and cat' sound effects, do you notice that they ignore some of them, while responding to some that are far faint in the background that we may have not even noticed? I think there is a 'fake dog barking' sound effect and a 'real dog barking' sound effect. The critters knows...

Yes, they are. Some years ago, I had another cat, Whiskers -- she and Peaches used to fight all the time, but when I'd put on some soft music, they would stop fighting, head for neutral corners and stay there listening to the music. Before long, I think they forgot whatever it was they were fighting about. :)
My cat watches bird and rodent science programs on the Discover channel.
When I was a kid, I babysat for the neighbor's dog. She had her own bedroom and bed. She had a television and a radio. I had to keep the television on for her during the day, and keep the radio on for her at night. No, I didn't stay with her. I just fed her, let her out, and played with her several times a day. It was great work.

Is a podcast available?
Gee, when we were kids, we were lucky to have our own room. I guess that's where the term, Lucky Dog came from.
Ayup!
*chuckle*
Do you remember the show Early Edition that was on a few years back? The lead character gets tomorrow's paper today and tries to change bad outcomes to good. The opening always included the thump of the newspaper and what I would describe an alarmed meow of a cat.
Well, one time my sister and I had gone to a weekend agility trial, along with our two dogs. We were at one of the agility lodging sites on Saturday night when the show came on. Everyone with dogs in that hotel must have been watching that show because the entire hotel started barking when that cat meow came across the airwaves...
This sort of thing can work, especially with dogs. My friend Kami's got an English Bulldog named Jack, and we're buds! But I don't get to see him very often, as I'm in KC, and she (and Jack) are in OKC. So, when I call, sometimes she'll put me on speaker-phone and let me talk to Jack, and he gets all excited and starts barking at me!

Somewhere I've got a photo of my cat who loved laying on top of the TV for the warmth. One night I was watching the BBC TV show, "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy," and I guess she got interested by all the sounds and flashing lights. She leaned over and watched the TV show from above (upside down)

I'd say $35 billion is more like it.
"Paws" down!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Don't know but if this thing takes off I am sure it will be
I just turned this on. My cat is sitting on the computer desk next to the speaker smiling. It's hilarious!
My dog loves to listen to classical music. I see merit in this program.
