My one cat loves to lay on the bed and watch TV shows with lots of action.
The motion catches her eye I guess. Celeste "Opinicus" wrote in message ... "socraticquest" wrote how dogs and cats admire art? Any If TV is art then our cats adore it. Our dogs on the other hand couldn't care less. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

Tara Believe it or not; public libraries have a subject classification "Animals as Artists" under Dewey Decimal call numbers 741, 750, 599 (no, these don't all include books about elephants that paint). Why Cats Paint had the call number 750. Have there been any university studies attempting to discern what arts pique our pets interests? |

Where's the news (No, shelly, I wasn't talking about YOU :-) Have there been any university studies attempting to discern what arts pique our pets interests? I have no idea. Frankly, my pets have better things to do with their time and focus, so I haven't really bothered. Tara |

Why Cats Paint had the call number 750. Please *do* tell me more about this "subject classification" of which you speak! Have there been any university studies attempting to discern what arts pique our pets interests? I think the arts of killing, food preparation, and dining are probably well represented. Some might consider comedy to be a form of art, and there are certain members of the animal kingdom that excel in that area. It strikes me that another problem with your thesis is that you have yet to define "art." Good luck with that! -- Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |
