Does your MC watch TV?

Over the last few weeks I have been joined on the settee by Mufasa who loves watching the TV. It all started one evening when I was watching Emergency Vets on Animal Planet. He was asleep in the living room as usual when he heard the animal noises from the TV and got up to look at the screen. From that time on he has been transfixed to certain programmes, his favourite still being Emergency Vets. He has now taken to waking up from his sleep when he hears the theme tune, stretching and settling down to watch the programme without moving. He is also partial to Fawlty Towers. Is this usual and if so what does your MC like to watch?

Occasionally, one of mine will stop and watch something on TV, usually if there is a fast moving object like a football or tennis ball. Enjoy Mufasa's company, he sounds great fun.

Bertie is fascinated by nature programmes. Trouble is he trying to climb behind all the electronics to get near the TV, silly sausage. The other two don't give a hoot.

One of my kittens silver definately looks at the flat screen sometimes usually when there is quick movement like football .
He will also sometimes climb up and try to "paw" whatever is moving although this never lasts for long as he doesnt catch anything.

I did try and upload a video but I don't think it worked! I'll try again later

love the video such concentration on his face..my tabby doesnt care but my red will watch tv and sometimes the strangest things catch his eye ...but when frozen planet was on that was a much watch ...he would sit on the floor right in front on the tv ...eventually coming up fpr a cuddle but watching all the time just like your very handsome boy

Shadow enjoyed Close Encounters....I did ask her if she came to earth in a spaceship...she gave me one of her 'don't be so stupid' looks!

I do love Mufasa, and he certainly looked like he was taking everything in that was going on in the programme!

Thank you for your replies. Maybe we should make a maine coon DVD with clips from Emergency Vets and Frozen Planet, Football and tennis matches, Close Encounters and lots of nature programmes! Could be a money spinner . . . . . .

I think I need to be watching more kitty friendly shows.... Ed prefers to sit in front of the tv. I'm apparently paying too much attention to it and not him!

yep mine done it when i first got him but, not any more.Attachment 5258

All 3 of mine will watch if something fast moving or making odd noises comes on and catches their eye, but the MC was fascinated the other day by a Cesar Millan show, with a dog barking a lot. She was trying to get behind the TV to find the dog. Mind you, if our two dogs go running to the door barking at the door bell, she goes with them - her breeder kept dogs too, so I think she just has a thing about dogs.

No, I won't allow it. I have told them they can have half an hour per week once they reach grade 5 on the piano. :rofl:

I hope you have banned the Playstation too, I find that is very bad for them, they are starting to develop opposable thumbs.... :rofl:

They're hockey fans here. They like watching the puck. HD is great! You can see their heads go left to back and forth a couple of times. Although they get freaked when mom and dad screams or shouts when our team scores. TV is over for them.

Kalli our MC loves watching animal programmes, but they have to be moving to keep her interested! She also seems to love Formula 1 and the Tour de France! Must be the movement also!

I only allow my furries to watch educational & animal orintated television & last night Merlyn got very excited when he saw a certain creature on the screen,after watching for a while he then went into relaxed mode as is only to be expected after such excitement & can only say I am very pleased he is such a gentleman seeing that Pansy P felt getting close & personal was the best place to be.....

My two watch it occasionally but see if you put the xbox on... they are hooked!

I'm thinking it's the green screen (preety sure research shows they can see colours on the lower spectrum). It's so funny. They will also come and sit beside my partner if he has MythBusters on.... at least it's educational. lol!

Trying to play kinnect with two cats walking behind on the sofa is a challenge though! :D
