> Some animals seem to be able to process things on a screen while others seem to totally ignore it

In my experience, it's more about the particular individual of animal rather than broadly "all eels can see screens", at least that's what I experience with my dogs. One of them ignore screens and seemingly can't see / don't want to see what's on the screen, even if prompted to look at it. The other one watches TV with me, as soon as I'm watching something. And if there is something appearing on the screen resembling an animal, she tries to scare them away with barks. Humans on TV is fine, and she follows them, but birds, dogs or any other animal is an enemy according to her. Even animated animals are recognized as animals for her, unless they are too abstract.

Watching BoJack Horseman was an interesting experience, to see where she would react vs not. Seems most animals/humans in that show are fine, unless they are really behaving like animals, then it's not fine.

My younger cat also completely ignores televisions and the mirror, just doesn't look at it any longer than a regular wall. The older one reacts to the "cat in the mirror" and also watches TV. Even goes as far as to go look at the other side of the wall that the TV is on if she sees something on TV she wants to hunt/eat.
