blood and seeing things get hurt. She has very good hunting instincts and behavior, but it's alll just a game to her. I have a cat video for her and she is fascinated by the rats and birds in it. So I thought she would like my National Geographic video of animals in the wild.

She was fascinated by the tigers, until a hunting scene when a tiger took down a zebra. Turned her head away. Every time a predator caught its prey, she got agitated and finally went into the bedroom to crawl under the bed.

Once, when she saw a movie scene where a guy knocked a woman to the ground, Ember rushed to the screen to touch the woman.

I think I've got a bleeding heart kitty. Very liberal of her.
