Here in Brazil they're known as "TV de cachorro". Literally "dog TV". Guess why: because you always get a bunch of stray dogs staring it, just like the cat in the OP.

Is it common to use those outside in Brazil?

Yes. Typically only Sunday, and the owner of the "dog TV" being a small market: grocery store, bakery, etc.

Love the common sense of humour.

That's wonderful and I think we should have more stray dogs here just so we can call shit that.
And dogs that move continents can have crazy dog stories to not tell.

Why are stray dogs so much of a problem over there, that you have a phrase like that? Poor puppers need loving homes.

It isn't that bad. At least now. But if there's at least one stray in your neighbourhood, you can be pretty sure he'll smell it from afar, and he'll sit just like that cat, watching the oven.

I'm starting to think that whoever came up with "a watched pot doesn't boil" had ADHD because when I put a pizza in the oven and doesn't watch it all of a sudden the pizza is charred. This cat has the right idea.

Bit of language trivia: you know, commercial rotisserie ovens? Like this one?
