Half of Irish people say they watch TV with their pets.

A new study from Netflix has revealed pets are the newest binge paw-tner to watch with.

While one-in-three have turned to their furry friends for comfort during a sad or scary scene.

And 18% have talked to their pet about the show or film they were watching.

But pet bingeing can also be ruff.

Nearly half of respondents (44%) have moved where they were sitting so their pet would be more comfortable.

Some 17% have bribed them with treats to watch longer, and 13% have even gone so far as turning off a show because their pet did not appear to like it.

The survey shows dog owners are more likely to choose action like 'Narcos' and 'Altered Carbon', and cat owners purr-fer sci-fi series like 'Black Mirror' and 'Star Trek Discovery'.

While bird lovers are egged on by 'Orange is the New Black'.

But one show that brings all streaming species together is 'Stranger Things'.
