Does your cat like watching cat tv?

Toots loves it. She would happily sit there and watch it for hours though she does occasionally jump up at the screen so I got to limit it

Yep my youngest one will watch it fo ages......but the screen does get attacked sometime

Mine used to like YouTube for Cats. We'd snuggle up in bed together and he'd be engrossed in watching the birds.

Oh yes they both love it. They walk round and round the pc trying to find a way in.

DCat1 loves watching tv, Disney cartoons are his favourite. He loves cat tv too. DH panics he’s going to scratch the tv though when he lunges at the birds. The other three aren’t as bothered

DCat is banned from watching it. It started off with him just sitting on the sofa watching. He even had his own watch list on YouTube. Then he had to be nose to the screen. Then he'd come in screaming for it to be turned on. Then there was violence if he didn't get his own way.

Then he destroyed a £250 TV by throwing himself at it from 4-5 feet away and he's not allowed it anymore.

I shouldn’t laugh but he honestly sounds like a tantruming toddler

Haribo loves YouTube Magpies for Cats, the one with them flying back and fore on a bird table.

That’s Toot’s favourite!! Though I just showed her the one where the food is on a tree stump and there’s a blue jay and some chipmunks and she quite like that one too

Show quote history

Exactly like a toddler screaming over screen time. He still comes running when the TV remote clicks through the smart hub options, he's ever hopeful one day we will forget what he did to the telly and just let him have his tv mice back.
