Does your cat like to watch?

[progmom]

...TV?



We've been watching March of the Penguins this morning, and Rufus Harley The Very Patient Cat has been completely obsessed with it. He's been sitting there, on high alert, watching it all morning.

Does your cat do the same thing?

1. I had a student whose cat would watch sumo wrestling

but he wasn't interested in other programs.

[progmom]

2. sumo wrestling?

:rofl:

I was just wondering where you were. :hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. I'm in MD near DC...

I think he had satellite TV, because I've only seen sumo wrestling on rare surfs past ESPN...

[progmom]

22. I just meant I hadn't noticed you posting in awhile

...and missed you. :hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. Awww...Thanks!

I was coaching amateur musicians last week in a chamber music workshop; and the day I got back, we had a brown-out that screwed up the settings on the computer. After spending 3 days getting things back to normal, I was called to sub for a concert series at the last minute. Usually summer is the slowest time of year! :toast:

3. It's funny. He doesn't like to watch t.v.

but he does like to watch... you know. Gotta wonder why.

4. Does that throw you off your game

Or do you like the audience?

10. A cat owned by a woman...

I knew...

In the biblical sense....

Jumped on my back, claws out for maximum damage...

I howled...

The cat dug in...

And I ended up haviong to go to the hospital for a tetnus shot...

Good Times....

Thank for reminding me...

LOL

[crim son]

16. My cat tries to become part of the act.

Purring nuzzling. It's a bit disturbing.

A tetanus shot? I hope it was worth it :)

[WCGreen]

20. At that age....

It was worth it...

Now...

Not so much....

[crim son]

21. Yeah, I get your meaning.

Though I'm not quite ready to give up completely on the search for something very good.

[WCGreen]

25. I meant that I would get up....

Throw the cat out and then get back to it....

More self control, Darlink....

[crim son]

17. I find it creepy that the cat takes such an interest.

So I either shut the door tight to begin with or, should he somehow get in, on the bed, and under the sheets, I boot him out fast.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

5. Absolutely never.

:shrug:

[Betty88]

6. computer games

Ever since he was a kitten he has sat by my monitor watching when I play Dark age of camelot. I think he likes the flashes of light and all the movement.

7. No but I was the same way with "March of the Penguins."

I was spellbound by it, but my cat slept through it.

[Catshrink]

8. They love Video Catnip

it's a video just for cats. 2+ hours of a backyard bird feeder, oh my!

Sam likes to watch football.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

9. Merlin likes CSI...

particularly New York.

[terrya]

11. My cat loved the movie "The Adventures of Milo and Otis"

I watched it one time and Chess was RIVETED. :-)

[Wcross]

12. One of my cats loves to watch me?

He jumps up on the desk and just stares at me with his head cocked to the side. He'll just sit there and stare. It made me uncomfortable until I got used to it.

13. My Uncle

has three cats that love to sit in front of his aquariums to watch the fish. Tuffy, Gizmo, and Boots will spend hours in front of the fish tank and occasionally bat their paws against the glass. They love it!

14. Riley likes Animal Planet

particularly Animal Cops: Houston.

No idea why. :shrug:

15. My Dog Responds To The Sound Of A Dog Barking On TV...

... she'll also bark AT the TV if she sees any animal that looks like another dog. (She must assume that the TV is some sort of window to the side yard and any dog on the screen is in HER yard... WOOF WOOF WOOF! "Get out of my yard!")

[catmandu57]

18. I had one who loved golf

he'd watch it forever, he was a big fan of fred couples, the ones we have now will watch every now and then. I was watching a cat show one night, when they started telling about some new born kittens, my momma cat heard the kittens mewling, jumped up and ran to the closet where her last litter had been to see if they were okay, she was between litters then.

[NJ Democrats]

23. Yes she does

[samsingh]

24. my dog does - especially when another dog comes on or barks.

[wildhorses]

26. my cat Obie used to watch baseball

sitting just the way your cat is pictured. When the ball was hit he would try to "catch" it with his paw. It was so funny!

[deucemagnet]

27. I read somewhere that most cats can't see TV...

...because their brains process visual information too quickly to be fooled by the constantly updating lines that us stupid humans percieve as moving pictures.

I tried to look up the article I read, but I couldn't find it. Interestingly, I found a few articles about cats loving HDTV (especially nature shows, of course). Maybe cats can see HDTV? That'd be pretty cool.

29. Tim likes 'migration of north american water fowl' that Betsy got him...

[Gatchaman]

[LisaL]

32. He only likes figure skating. He paws at the skaters trying

to catch them.
