    “Doggie In The Window” Scares Cat In The Tavern

    NEW YORK—A tavern owner in New York had a complaint last week. The barking on the disk “Doggie In The Window” was frightening his cat, who was in the tavern to take care of any mice.

    I find that very hard to believe. It doesn't sound like real barking.
    Also I've never had a cat that reacted to radio/TV/computer noises, or
    to visuals like a menacing dog on the TV screen. It doesn't register
    with the cat.
