dogcatradio.com It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Do you know what your pets are listening to? DogCatRadio, if you’re among the 6.2 million listeners who tune in to this Internet radio station every week. Los Angeles music exec Adrian Martinez created the station last year to serve what he considered was a neglected segment of the listening audience: the four-legged set.

The most-requested songs, presumably by pet owners: “Dog Day Afternoon,” “Hound Dog,” and “More Than a Woman.” Meow.
