Yep Brian, my Murphy watches TV.  She only likes shows with animals, usually
if there's quite a bit of action.  The sound of birds singing attracts her,
or the sound of small animals moving attracts her.  As soon as the scene
changes to something human, she wanders off.

Yep, one of my kitties loves to watch soccer. He will sit there for ages
looking at the screen and intermittantly trying to catch the players.

I think some are just smart enough to know it's not real

Out of my three cats Mushkins is the only one who gets engrossed in TV.  She
will lay at the bottom of the bed and watch the TV intently any time I have
it on animal planet or other nature shows other than that she doesn't show
much interest.  It's usually shows where they are showing wildlife with lots
of nature sounds that interest her.

Mine like basketball on TV.  They swat at the ball when it's in the air.

We have a great photo of Stella standing on her hind legs with front paws on
the TV stand looking at an ostrich on TV. She isn't the real TV watcher
though... that would be Delilah. Delilah likes to see other cats on TV but
is a huge fan of watching those sheep herding dogs working. We were watching
a show once and when the dogs were on herding their sheep, she was all
eyes... a commercial came on and she would nap until the show came on again.
She has repeated this several times ... all for sheep herding dogs. She
doesn't care for other dogs or what they do.  Delilah also likes Zellers
commercials.

My cats like watching tv, especially animal planet.  They also love th
radio

Redunzel and Sarrasine don't pay it much attention- Sarrasine doesn't
mind tennis where she tried to grab the ball a couple of times and then
looked behind the TV to see where the little people had gone.

For TV junkies you have to consider Fugazi and Isis. Fugazi loved
anything with car chases in it (We used to put the "Blues Brothers" on
just for her!!) in fact if we saw one coming up we'd call out "Gaz-gaz!
Vroom vrooms!" (Am I the only person who says these insane things to
cats?) and she would come running to watch it!

Isis had a thing about cartoons- I never understood why a cat would be
such a fan of Tom and Jerry! And wildlife programmes were a special
favourite- she even mastered the idea of a commercial break, many
times, she'd be sitting on my lap avidly watching something and the
break would come up so she's jump off, go use the litter box, grab a
quick drink of water and maybe some food and come back to my lap in
time for the programme to start again

Oh and my friend Mick's cat Sam would do exactly the same as Otis when
the snooker was on
