We used to have a cat who would jump at the TV screen after football players running across the field! My current cat, Julie, is quite oblivious to TV. What is really surprising is that she does not even respond to cat sounds on either radio or TV...However, if a cat should meow or even just walk by outside, she is immediately on the windowsill of my second-floor apartment to check it out.
I guess her senses are so acute that she can tell "live" from "canned" cat meows!
Take care, MARTHA and Julie {MEE-OWW!) the Calico Princess

Speck and Gino have been known to pay attention during certain TV shows, mostly Animal Planet. But I do recall, when TBS was playing, "Showgirls" all the time (the censored version, thank doG, don't want my dogs being corrupted :D ), Speck caught a few glimpses here and there. He looooooves his women. He's a bit of a girl-crazy hound, whether human or canine, as those who know him can attest.
:p :p :p

Murph doesn't watch at all.
Oz does on rare ocassions. Seems to be mostly when there's a distressed animal whining on TV.
Gull watches all kinds of things. I haven't found a pattern yet. I was watching "Van Hesling" over the weekend and he seemed to be enthralled with the Frankenstein character. He was intently watching the screen and then going up to the screen to get a closer look see, during some of that character's scenes.

No, it only catches their attention if a dog barks or something!

Sometimes! we have to be careful with Echo though because if she see's another Rottie or dachshund on TV she gets crazy and almost breaks it. (it's only those 2 breeds that interest her:D :rolleyes: )

Zoey will run up to the TV if she sees something running across the screen. Last night she was watching the Red Sox. lol
Go Sox!

Gracie does and right now she has her nose pressed to the computer screen. I was showing her some of the pics..and she started licking the screen so I had to make her get down.

Not really, but, he is fascinated with mirrors. My RB cat, Justin, would watch this one show that used to come on called "The Pet Dept.", I have a video of him watching it. :)

They love TV. Lou-Lou will set in front of it sometimes and turn her head from side to side trying to figure out what in the world is going on it there. If a dog walks on the screen she barks at it.

Kelcee watches all the time. I leave the one on in the bedroom all night for her. She loves TV.
