I believe there are species-specific components of what pet animals like and dislike in the TV space. But I bet there are also cross-species effects.
Flow is animals being self-actualised. It's not strongly human focussed is it?
It would be possible to write this down to soundscape and flow/colour/movement but that denies the interpretive quality of what animals see portrayed on TV and we have other reasons (Lion King) to think they see even cartoon animals as animals, and display emotional responses to what they see, not just motion stimulus-response, but some "intellectual" model of the story/narrative/events.
I wonder if an TV show could de-sensitize cats to Cucumbers and Zuccini with a narrative purpose in the story? Or, could reflect the "I'm going to sit in this box because it makes me feel good" vibe.
