Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004Does your cat watch TV?
Does your cat watch TV with you? If so, what shows does it watch? Mine doesn't really pay much attention to what I'm watching. She's either sleeping or grooming herself. If I've noticed her watching anything consistently, it would have to be figure skating. It might be all the classical music that is coming out of the boob tube that she is fascinated with.

They like Stargate and The Crocodile Hunter. My cats watching TV gave me the idea of doing Internet TV for cats. You can see it at www.catgalaxymedia.com.

That is, until fairly recently when a friend lent me a video for cats. Of my current two cats, one completely ignored it but the other started watching, even checking behind the TV to see if the birds were there. Then he started pawing the screen. Since then, every once in a while, he sees something that interests him and he paws the screen and bats at it. My siamese loves to watch T.V. Her favorite is the Animal Planet. She loves the scenes with the big cat chasing the gazelle. She also loves to watch the animated movie, Ice Age. She has a foundness for the squirrel with the nut. My other cat could care less about the T.V. Where can you buy a vcr tape or DVD for cats? I think that would be great for her when we are not home. British television once produced a documentary about cats that I borrowed from our local library. I can't remember the name of it, but it was an hour long show and our late cat, Kitty, watched for a solid hour. He never had before and never did again. He, too, checked behind the TV set. 17 Dec 2003: > Where can you buy a vcr tape or DVD for cats? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF- 8&q=catnip+video&btnG=Google+Search SignatureCheryl "I am only one, but still I am one.

Whether or not cats watch T.V depends on how they see. Some cats see fast which means that the picture on television is a blur to them. Cats that see slow tend to watch T.V. I wish I could explain allot better but maybe somebody else can. There was a show on Animal Planet a few months ago that explained this. Bill could care less about T.V.!

All four of my cats will watch if I put the "Video Catnip" tape in the VCR. In fact, one of them will come running when she hears a tape going into the VCR. I have also noticed that the youngest two will watch Rolie Polie Olie for a little while. I think they like the little antenna things on the characters' heads. I also have at least one dog who can see the pictures on TV. (I have five dogs.) 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson ************************************************* http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ > Does your cat watch TV with you? If so, what shows does it watch? I've just read somewhere that cats' vision is so different from ours that they see the scan lines and not the persistent image which we watch. My cat will watch video DVDs with me when I play them on a laptop computer with a color LCD screen, though. Now, dogs are a different matter. My dog watches TV with me, but I guess I should say he watches by himself. I usually go to a different room to watch because it really pisses me off because I cannot get involved in a show when he keeps channel-surfing with the remote. He's got a very short attention span and he hates commercials. i know that JAKKERS (m) doesn't usually care about tv , but ever since we got the internet hes been going nuts trying to get "online"per se trini up > > Does your cat watch TV with you?

My cat Jellicoe shows no interest at all in the television, but she loves the computer. She will chase the mouse pointer around the screen. There is also a game I play which has lots of bouncing balls moving around the screen. She loves this, and will push in front of me, sit on the keyboard, and block the screen with her big head while she tries to catch the balls. It's so cute! My Rusty does the same thing. Cats are so entertaining. They are great company as well. Jellicoe sounds so sweet. > My cat Jellicoe shows no interest at all in the television, but she > loves the computer.

It's so cute! Our cats will now and then enjoy TV if it shows small things moving about, such as long shots of football or dancing. However, the other day we rented the wonderful movie, "Winged Migration" which is entirely shots of birds flying about. Both cats sat rivited to the set for more than 45 minutes, but then sleep overcame them both. My kitten - Mick - loves both the tv and the computer - he goes up to the tv screen and starts batting at the people or images on the screen :) > My cat Jellicoe shows no interest at all in the television, but she > loves the computer.
