Bobby watches a wildlife documentary
Our cat is full of surprises and the latest is that after 4 years with us she finally has discovered the joys of watching television. Usually she doesn’t care much about it when it’s on and often just snoozes, but for a couple of days now she is transfixed by it. She responds to noises and on Monday she spent an hour watching a wildlife documentary about the Yellowstone River in Canada. At some point they showed how the snow came down and she started touching the screen. So I am wondering what cats actually can see when they watch telly. They usually do respond to sounds, certainly animal sounds and of course other cats, but what can they actually see and recognise on the flat screen? So I googled to find out.
Here some links that shed some light on the question:

What do you think? If you own a cat, does she/he also stare intently at the telly? Does she/he prefer specific programmes?
