DogCatRadio.com - Internet Radio for Snoopy & Heathcliff
Thats right folks, now your beloved pet has a home on the web for his listening pleasure. DogCatRadio.com, "The radio station all pets enjoy," is run by a guy out of a converted trailer in Los Angeles. Homeboy is so in touch with his many pets that they were not only the inspiration for the webcasts, they told him to do it. Seriously:
[Adrian] Martinez, 34, who owns six dogs and two cats, said he founded the station because "my cat, Snickers, asked me to do it." One day, Snickers was pacing the floor restlessly and meowing. "I said, `What do you want?"' Martinez recalled in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. "I turned up the music, and she was fine."
Martinez is also president of Morusa Records, a label I know nothing about except they have hilarious album covers. The NYT wrote a story (sub req) about DogCatRadio that doesn't seem the least bit facetious in spite of such gems like this one from Larry Family - host of the Pet Vet, on WROW-AM in Albany, NY.
Dr. Larry Family...recommends DogCatRadio to his patients' owners. "It's of interest to those people whose pets have certain phobias or anxiety issues. It might be helpful with dogs with separation anxiety issues. Dogs, especially, are interested in watching TV with their owners and listening to music."
Dogs are not only Man's best friend, but they want to rock out too?! The Merry Swankster will follow up with local dogs and cats suffering from mental health issues with their take on Dr. Family's claim. Begs the question though, does the good doctor recommend doggie radio for non-depressed pets? What about the more discriminating pets? I once knew a cat who would absolutely claw your face off if you changed its early postpunk-disco glam mixes from the stereo. Damn cat music snobs.
Hat Tip - Angry little black guy. Who recently got angry at a gay cowboy and introduced his face to the fabulous pavement of L.A.

Yo! Let me in here. How do I get on this damn thing!?
I'm the angry little black guy! Wait... who's little!? Call me little again and I'll beat you like I beat that gay cowboy. Don’t even try to get funny with “beat the gay cowboy”. There ain’t no sugar in my tank! There's nothing like the taste of dirty alley pavement. So I’ve been told.
Really though... I'm a sensitive guy. Why else would I smack people when they open their mouths? I'm sensitive you mutha' fucka'.
I'm that guy... yep, the Angry black-man. It's the rap music.
