Default the feline jury's still out on the new telly

Well folks, I've finally splashed out and replaced my circa 1975
television set with a new one.
Stirling is rather bothered by it and doesn't want to get too near. From
time to time he gets brave and trys a sort of sideways approach, but
every time he gets near something moves on the screen and he shies away.
Arthur thinks it's rather nice, mainly because the more time I spend
sitting and watching it the more he can sit on my lap.
Katie thought so too until the start of last night's movie when the MGM
lion roared. She went straight up about 3 feet then headed for the
hills. I guess the sound must be good (I'm hearing impaired so can't
really tell the difference myself).
Violetta is quite pleased because the new set came in a big cardboard box.

maybe the technology jump was a bit too big for the kitties - was the old
one actually still working or just for keeping ornaments? ;P
fortunately there is always the box to keep the furries happy.=)

LOL! Everyone's got to have an opinion :-) Congrats on the new TV.
Vino always loves new additions to the furniture or appliances. So
much new stuff to sniff, not to mention the boxes and/or bubble wrap!

Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's
covered in fur!
