Hi all -
When we go away on vacation our girls are on their own, other than quick visits by a friend to change water, food and litter. Our babies are very friendly, but only to us and hide under their bed when others show up, so while we are away they lack any significant human interaction.
One of the things I do before leaving them is try to set up their room to be "interesting" and "fun" for them (new sleeping beds, boxes, blankets, cat trees, etc.), and leave some for our friend to introduce every few days during their kittycare visits.
I've been hoping to find a way to display kitty-friendly YouTube or other videos I can control remotely or via a schedule. My last attempt was using an Amazon Echo Show, but I'm not seeing how to play specific videos on a regularly scheduled or remote basis. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this (even with something other than an Echo Show)? I don't want it to be non-stop (as they will get used to it), but rather something that comes on for an hour or two, then stops for half a day or more before reappearing. My thought is it will stay "fresh" and keep them occupied while they wait for their pawrents to come back home.
Thanks!
