The incredible untouchable fly: fun for the whole family.

[icarus]

The plus side of the monitor not working (and having to use the TV instead) -- kitty loves it. He's watching the incredible uncatchable fly --

(what we know as a cursor and/or mouse pointer)

-- with utter fascination now.

This means that he stands in front of the screen, backlit, as he tilts his head to stare. Which means I have to look between his little pointy ears to see the screen.

Of course I move the mouse around until he bats at it. Who would pass on the opportunity?

For once, the whole family gets to enjoy TV. *g*

(Although he likes figure skating, too.)

Kitty must love you to allow you to see any of the screen. :D

Long Long Ago (back in the 1980s), when I shared a flat with two other people, we also shared it with two cats. And because it was Long Long Ago, we had a TV without a remote control; what it did have, though, were touch-sensitive buttons to change channels (etc). As I recall, there were actually two halves to each button, and you had to touch both of them to make it work. One of the cats managed on occasion to change channels on us by standing up to pat at something on the screen, while supporting himself on another paw to the side ... right where the buttons were.

On numerous occasions, they dashed behind the TV to get to the snooker ball that had just - obviously! - fallen off the screen and must therefore be on the floor behind it. And Strider (see userpic) was once applauded during a cricket Test Match, when she stood up to pat at the moving white things (people) on the screen, and the Australian captain was out next ball. We couldn't persuade her to do it again, though.

Our dear departed kitty loved to watch tv. She was a big fan of Animal Planet. Of course, I'm not...but Peter let the cat watch it anyway. It was always clear which of the females in the household held the power!
