I keep the TV on almost all day, wether I'm watching it or not, I like to have it on as background noise. The dogs and cats all know that when the TV goes off it's bed time. The dogs all go to their beds and Bitsy goes and sits in front of my bedroom door, as she sleeps with us. The cats all run to their food dishes. They each have their own dish and I feed them just before I go to bed at night.
