My kitty watching TV.

[hippywife]

Nature was on PBS tonight with a program about hummingbirds. Lucy was glued to the picture for the better part of half an hour. :rofl:

1. LOL

I'm not saying build a whole show around animals.
All I'm suggesting is we occasionally throw in a little
pet appeal.
- Some birds, a squirrel... - Mice.

Mice, exactly.

You remember Kojak and the lollipops?
What about a cop that dangles string, that's his gimmick?

[hippywife]

16. Where does that come from?

I always love it when they show things that the cats find interesting. :hi:

[Capn Sunshine]

31. "Scrooged"

Its the script w/o character titles.

Mitchum's character talking to Bill Murray's character.
It's why he wanted a doormouse in the "Scrooge" network special.

[BrklynLiberal]

35. One of the funniest parts of that movie was when Bill Murray told the stage hand to

staple the reindeer antlers to the mice.....

Funny movie.

[emilyg]

2. Cute.

[hippywife]

17. Thanx, emily.

She's my little doll baby. :hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. LOL Cute! Pickles was obsessed with

Figure skating when she was just a one-hand-sized kitten. :D

[hippywife]

13. What a darling little baby!

She looks like she's paying very strict attentuion, too! LOL :hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. One of the few times aside from napping when she held still. LOL

[muffin1]

37. So sweet!

I'm guessing she's NOT named after Barbara Bush!:P

[Ikonoklast]

4. This website is endless fun for my kitties...

Guaranteed Lucy will find it amusing.

[Mojorabbit]

5. I watched that show

with hubby. The hummingbird in Peru with the two long feathers was too cool. Your cat has excellent taste in tv programs.

[hippywife]

14. It was a very cool program.

We ALL enjoyed it very much. Well, except my other kitty, Lena. She was more interested in the cake I was putting together at the time.

:hi:

[Eyerish]

6. Ha! My kitty did the same thing!

She intently watched for almost the entire hour. It was a fascinating program too.

[hippywife]

15. Did she try to get the birdies?

Lucy watched from several vantage points and then looked behind the panel to see if she could catch them back there. LOL

:hi:

[DevinKline]

24. delete-

husband didn't tell me he logged in x(

[Eyerish]

27. She sure did! She cackled at the screen a couple of times too...

Near the end of the program she decided to investigate one particular bird and got too close to the screen and the static electricity got her. She lost interest in the program after that *lol* :hi:

[hippywife]

30. LOL!

I bet she did. I've been surprised at how tolerant ours have been with the static in the fleece blankets this winter. It's the first experience with it for both of them.

[Withywindle]

7. ADORABLE!

My girl was reacting similarly to a show on Animal Planet about parrots a few days ago. :D


Also, sometimes she's into politics.




(That pic was on catsforobama.com last year. No, it's not photoshopped, and yes, that really is my cat.)

[hippywife]

18. That is so cute.

Beautiful little tortie you have. (Lucy is part tortie but you can't tell unless looking straight on since she only shows the markings on her head.) She looks like she's really reading it. LOL :hi:

[Heidi]

8. Hahahahahahaha!

The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger loves to do this, too. His particular preference is "big cat" documentaries, although he got very excited once watching a documentary about feral cats living in the tunnels under Berlin or someplace. (We were surprised he understood that one. Heck, we didn't even know he spoke German.) :rofl:

[hippywife]

11. I'm betting that he's

bilingual. :rofl:

:loveya: :*

[EndersDame]

9. My cats dont watch TV but my pup has barked during ashowing of Lassie on TCM

[hippywife]

19. It's fun when the just pick up the sounds, too. n/t

[EndersDame]

26. It is to funny any time a dog barks or a cat meows the dog reacts

It is nice to know she will protect me from Lassie

[Skittles]

10. kitty watching Miss November

:D

[hippywife]

12. That's adorable, Skittles.

That really bright background no doubt made it really stand out for your kitty to see. :D

[TZ]

20. My cats taste runs to political humor...:)

[hippywife]

21. Your cat

has excellent taste. :hi:

[charlie and algernon]

22. My cat was fascinated with Planet Earth

especially the scene where they show the Bird of Paradise mating dance. She was fixated then, watching the birds dance around on the screen. Wish I had a picture of it.

[hippywife]

28. I didn't think I would manage

to get pics because I was at the kitchen table mixing up a cake, and she was originally on the back of one of the kitchen chairs watching. Of course, as soon as I had the camera, she had moved. Luckily she had merely moved to get a better view.

[Deep13]

23. She thinks it's the Food Channel. nt

[hippywife]

29. Exactly!

LOL! I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right. :rofl:

She loves to hunt flies and birds from inside the house. She gets that chattering thing going that just cracks me up, like she's talking to them.

:hi:

[Robeson]

32. Lucy knows what she likes...

...as do three of my five kids here....

[hippywife]

33. Good thing you have extra seating. LOL n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

36. That is soooo cool!!!!!

[pengillian101]

39. OMG that is just hilarious!

What fun kitties you have. That photo is priceless. :-)

[BrklynLiberal]

34. HAH! Me and my cats watched that too!!! It was so funny to see them so interested.

[hippywife]

38. Always puts a lot more enjoyment

into watching TV when they want to watch, too. :hi:
