Strange things your pet is attracted to

There is one thing that, strangely, does nothing for him: the sounds of other cats meowing. I tried to elicit a reaction using cat videos on Youtube, but he just doesn't care at all for the sounds. Is it possible he knows they're not coming from a real cat?

My cats do not react to any of the sounds in a video either. I have tried many videos on YouTube, different sounds in apps and games, and even videos posted on Facebook. There is never a reaction from neither of my cats. I think they know the sounds, whether they are purring, meows, or hissing, are fake. Maybe they sound too electronic or odd to their ears. I just think they are smarter than what we give them credit for sometimes!

We had a little Pomeranian named Queen of Sheba, and she would always lie close to us when we were watching television. She would often listen to the noises on there, and once, when we were watching Animal Planet, and there were kittens on the program; Sheba started looking all over around and behind the television trying to find those kittens !
I think the one thing that she was most fascinated by was the door bell. Even thought she was only a tiny 4 lb teacup Pom, she thought she was the family guard dog. Anytime the doorbell would ring, she was right there, running p to the door to let us know we had company.
The only bad thing about this was that she could not tell the difference between a real doorbell, and one on the television; so whenever someone rang a doorbell on the TV, she would jump up and run to the door, barking loudly! She could never understand why there was no one there, when she KNEW that she heard someone ringing the doorbell.

For some reason, my cats are all very attracted to the bamboo plant we have in our garden. Every morning, they would spend an hour there just eating the leaves or gnawing the barks. I don't know why they do this though because the only plant I know that cats are attracted to is catnip. We don't have catnip though.

They are also very fond of out pitbull named Sheena. They would always play with her in the morning even if Sheena cannot catch them because she is too fat. It's really amazing because dogs and cats are always considered mortal enemies. It's a good thing that I never believed that.

My dog is attracted to watermelons. I am not sure I really want to know why. We bring them all the time around summer and he wont let us cut it. It's not like he thinks it's a big green ball. Just props it between his front paws and licks it all over, careful not to nick it anywhere. He even sleeps with it and rubs his mug against it like his personal soft toy...
