Does your cat/dog/whatever watch TV?

I have a 14-week-old kitten who likes to sleep in my CD drawer when I keep it open. When he isn't sleeping in it though he watches the little TV I have next to my computer, and I think he actually watches it. He follows the people on screen, even picks them out when the scene changes sometimes. Of course he doesn't understand the plot or any of that, but I think it's kind of cute all the same.

My female dalmation will come lay next to me when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV and rest her head on my lap looking at the screen.


If I'm in my room, watching a movie, she'll be laying right next to me watching. I think she's just fascinated by the light, because she'll stare at the flashlight when I'm working on my computer most of the time.

i've tried hold him in front of the set, pointing at it, he shows no interest whatsoever. so no easy way to distract him with boob tube... but flashlights, shadows, laser pointers make him crazy.

My pup watches TV. If there are other animals on she will follow them across the screen, sniff the screen and sometimes just lay on the couch and watch it. I always thought animals could just see motion on the screen but i know she see's the animals by the way she reacts. Very funny yo see!

Some of my cats will, the others have no interest. My Chow will quite frequently, my Boston Terrier has no interest in it.
