    PIerre, I can tell you are having the best time watching TV! I wish my human had the TV on more here – she has like two shows she watches and it is off the rest of the time!

    Too cute!!! You should tell your mom to put a NASCAR race on for you…that would be really fun! (The other night Mudpie was riveted to a PBS Nature special…from the comfort of her favorite chair.)

    I try to pawticipate, but the mom will not let me get that close to the TV. Something about not wanting scratches on the screen. ~Ernie

    When I put Meerkats on for Lita, she will sit intently and swat at the TV. They really should let YOU do the news, Pierre!

    We only watch TV when it’s about other cats when we sit close to the screen and watch to see if there’s someone we might know!

    That is just too sweet! Zoey does that at our house, but we’ve never been bright enough to grab the camera and film it!!

    mom says so far Daiquiri hasn’t “participated” in TV watching but she suspects it may only be a matter of time. 🙂

    Oh that is precious. We do jump next to the tv but we have our backs against the tv so that we’re facing and watching the humans watch us, oh and the tv too.

    I think it is adorable but my husband would COMPLETELY lose his mind. This is the reason we have our TV higher up……..the TV is my husband’s baby and if Cody did this, my husband would be beside himself crazy!!!!!!

    That does look like fun. We can only watch as our two TVs are mounted really high with no way for us to get to them. Phooey! Our humans are mean. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
