Neither of my previous cats were very interested in my cat video but Sootie loves it. She does love to sit watching tv. Especially those where they're training a badly behaved dog. Sophie (RB) in the first few days she was here, sat and watched the whole of Jungle book. Not one of our favourites but we kept it on for her to watch. LOL! Boyfie is not a TV fan. I saw the video in a charity shop (obviously it hadn't worked for the previous owners either!) and I just thought "well, why not, maybe he would like to watch it while I'm at work." I used to do this sort of thing, getting cardboard boxes for both himself & KFC to jump in and out of, etc because of such good reports on here about how other cats loved these things. They both just thought "why are these boxes in here?" and ignored them. I tried not to be hurt ;-) I was trying to be such a good cat meowmie. Tweed |

Judith IMHO kitties that were separated from their mom and littermates at an early age probably never really learned to play. Street waifs spend their time trying to survive and never really found out what play is. |

I never know what's going to interest Persia. Sometimes she's taken with boxes, other times she ignores them. Same thing with paper shopping bags as toys. (NOTE: *Not* the kind with handles!) Persia used to dive into them... she tired of that as a toy, too. She does still like toy mousies that rattle And she also likes the refillable velcro "mouse" that you fill with catnip. She pounces on it and then licks it into submission IIRC, Victor Martinez had one just like it. Jill |

How do you know they didn't play in the boxes when you weren't there? That's just the kind of thing a cat would do. -- Joyce I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it. -- Abraham Lincoln |

One of my dogs was fascinated by bears or wolves on the Tv and would watch them raptly until they disappeared and then she would get up and look behind the television to see where they had gone. She had no interest in dog or cat programmes. Wolves were her ;-) Tweed |
