Will blue light affect cats’ vision?

The light from the screen contains blue light. Prolonged exposure to blue light may have adverse effects on your cat’s eyes and vision. In addition, excessive visual stimulation and fast-moving images may make cats feel tired, anxious, or confused.

Fortunately, most cats don't watch television or screens for long periods of time. They are often interested in what is on the screen, but lose interest or shift attention after a short period of time. So if your cat is interested in an object on the screen, give them some viewing opportunities for an appropriate amount of time, but you still need to be careful about moderation.

Will the sound of the TV affect cats?

Cats are also sensitive to loud sounds. Loud music or other noises may upset or stress your cat. If you want to play music, it is recommended to choose soft, light music and keep the volume within a range that your cat can tolerate. Also, observe your cat's reaction when playing music. If they show signs of restlessness or discomfort, it's best to lower the volume or stop playing.

In general, allowing your cat to view objects on the screen and pay attention to the light on the screen, as well as providing a comfortable and quiet environment, can help ensure your cat's comfort and health.
