It's his favorite video... better than the news crawlers or the NFL.

1. 4 minutes....
that's kind of long for him. Normally he hears the music and comes running. But he's sitting very attentively in front of the TV watching his birdies do their birdie thing. Yum...

3. It's been on for 90 minutes now and he is STILL in front of the tv.
Either the video is awesome for a cat or my Ricky is really really stupid. Hmmmm. I guess those two aren't mutually exclusive.

4. I had a cat who loved a movie they used to show on Nick
Called 'Kavik The Wolf Dog.' It was a Canadian kids' movie about this dog/wolf hybrid that somehow got separated from his owners and made a trek cross-province over the course of a year to find them again. If I recall correctly, though there was internal dialogue, mostly the movie was the dog walking out in the wilderness, encountering animals; there was always a background of sounds of bugs, birds, etc. the whole way through the movie, and there was a lot of movement on the screen all the time, though not much of people.

Norman Bates used to love that movie, and for a while, Nickelodeon showed it a lot. If we were channel-surfing and stopped for more than fifteen or twenty seconds on it, he'd come running and sit in front of the television. If we changed the channel, he'd walk around the living room grumbling at us until we put it back on, and then he'd sit back on the floor, a couple of feet from the TV, and watch.

One of our current cats tried to attack the Westminster Kennel Club show when it was on, about a year ago. She rushed the screen, reaching up to pat at the dogs, then jumped up on top of the television, scolding the back where she knew the little things moving around on the screen were coming from. For a week, we'd find her behind the television -- I think she thought those tiny little dogs were going to come out so she could play with them.
