OT: Anyone's pets ever watch TV like this one???

When I was married, we had a black cat named Persiphonie. Persiphonie was an F-1 fan who's favourite circuit was Monaco. She was espcially fond of the hairpin and always looked around the corner of the TV to see where the car had gone.
Come to think of it, we should have signed her on as a corner worker!

I had a half-siamese when I was growing up who was addicted to ACC basketball. She would sit on top of the tv, watch the game, try to "steal" the ball and would run around the floor looking for the ball when it went off screen. Current menagerie is three cats, a dog, and a parakeet. None of the current crop are showing any signs of intelligence.

Nice cats!!
Mine are a spotted Brown Tabby (a junior sized Jaguar named Junior) and a Black (looked like a little black panther when a kitten named Huey. Now looks like a little black bear) They entertain themselves and only occasionally interested in TV, mostly wildlife bird shows. They are very avid ornithologists.

Just two really mind-blowing things (there are many)he has done since a pup: 1)when he was still a pup, we could not figure out why he bit at the screen and then looked at us and then bit at the screen, over and over. We soon realized he only did it whenever we ignored him and he wanted a drink or to be let out. Instead of scratching at the door (never), he interferes with our TV viewing until he gets our attention! 2) One time I saw a squirrel or something outside the door and said "Willie, look, look!". Instead of running to the door, the dog runs over to the TV! I didn't even know he understood the word look, let alone associated it with the TV. Does it every time! Weird but true!
