They mostly ignore the TV: it's of interest mostly in that humans are in Preferred Lap Configuration (for Mariposa, who likes to sit in my lap), or on the couch with plenty of kitty sprawling room (for Fluff, who prefers to be human-adjacent). We have a tiny balcony with a bird-feeder on it, however, and Fluff in particular will sprawl by the balcony doors for hours and watch the birds. (This leads to the inevitable trill-of-death, and twice to her bashing herself into the aforementioned doors, trying to pounce the birds that are right outside. Fortunately, the birds do not appear inclined to taunt the doofus kitty.)
