Keep Your Kitties Occupied With These 7 Stimulating Bird Videos

If you've taken a peek at TikTok recently, you've probably noticed some pet parents are encouraging their cats to watch bird videos on YouTube. And while seeing snippets of kitties living their best lives is certainly adorable, there are actually tangible benefits of this behavior.

Because cats are supremely visual creatures, it shouldn't surprise humans that they might actually be truly entertained by these clips. Additionally, allowing your indoor-outdoor kitties to watch their favorite prey on TV may have a positive impact on the environment.

"Predation by domestic cats is the number-one direct, human-caused threat to birds in the United States and Canada," reads the American Bird Conservatory website. "In the United States alone, outdoor cats kill approximately 2.4 billion birds every year."

Ahead, get a look at our favorite videos (some are even eight hours long!) that are sure to stimulate your cats without causing any other animals any harm.
