Most of us would agree that it’s important to keep an eye on our neighborhoods. For some, that might mean installingsecurity camerason their front porch to see who’s ringing the doorbell or keeping in contact with neighbors while on vacation to stay in the loop. And for others, it might simply mean adopting a dog or a cat.

Every single morning, I wake up to my cat chirping in my face until I start petting him. He’ll then relax for a while, and as long as I keep petting, he’ll keep purring. The second I stop, however, his paws are on my face and he’s meowing again demanding breakfast. If I’m in the kitchen cooking, he wants to be as close as possible, usually sitting on the coffee machine watching closely as I chop veggies or measure ingredients. He isincrediblynosey.
Whether your pet is allowed outdoors or will live out all of their days inside, it’s likely that they love looking out the windows. I can’t really blame them, because I love doing the same thing too! But if you’re curious why they’re so drawn to keeping an eye on what’s happening outside,Precious Petcarehas some ideas.When it comes to cats in particular, it’s possible that they’re looking for a cool breeze or some fresh air. I always keep at least one window in the apartment cracked open, and my little guy seems to always find his way there. He also loves the sunshine, likely for the warmth, so it’s a perfect win-win for him when he can get fresh air and a nice tan at the same time.

Our pets might also spend time looking out the window if they’re waiting for one or more of their humans to come home. I’m not sure how he does it, but our cat is always right up at the door immediately when we come home, even if we get it unlocked incredibly quickly. He was likely watching out the window or listening for us in the stairwell, because he does not enjoy spending time alone.
As far as why dogs are always looking out the window to see what’s going on outside,Wagnotes on their site that they might be stressed, bored or depressed if they’re kept inside for too long. Constantly keeping an eye on what’s going on outside might even be a coping mechanism for them. Watching the activity that’s happening outside can keep them occupied or distracted from the fact that they’d rather be out there. And they might simply be curious!
Dogs also usually love looking out, or sticking their entire heads out, the window while riding in the car. Car rides can provide dogs with many new sights and smells that they don’t typically have access to, so it can be incredibly exciting for them to take it all in. The fresh air and all of the new senses can bring them joy, and just like cats (and even humans), sunshine can make them feel warm and fuzzy on the inside and outside.
If you’re looking to make your pet’s window-watching experience more enjoyable,K&H Pet Productsrecommends making their preferred windowsill as cozy as possible. You can put a small bed or pillow there if there’s room to support it. And you might even consider hanging a cradle from the window, so your little fur ball always has somewhere to perch and keep an eye on the outside world!
If you’ve noticed yourpetsbecoming a little bit too nosey when watching the outside world, it might be time to take them outside. We all know dogs need to go out regularly to run around, do their business and go on walks to socialize and get to sniff. But even cats can benefit from some outdoor time! If you have an indoor cat, consider teaching them how to walk on a leash and taking them outside for some supervised fresh air. Chances are, they’ll love the experience and be happy to go out again and again!
