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

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