It’s a good sign that your pets are pretty bright.
Many of my dogs ignored the TV but others watched it raptly.
Until they “got it”, I had to be careful to not watch shows with fleeing prey animals or the Ibizans would go bonkers jumping and barking at them.
When I had a sturdy old CRT type TV it was just annoying...with a flat screen LED, it’s downright dangerous.
;D
When Husky girl was little, she leapt at our old, box TV while watching a nature show-there were rabbits hopping around on snow-I barely grabbed her collar in time to save the TV set.
