We know some of you have heard about
the Cat Watch 2014 experiment in England
on one of our TV channels last week
At first I didn't take much notice and napped but
after a while the meowing woke me up,
There were 100 cats all from one street being filmed
both inside and outside their homes
After a while I paid more attention to it,
some homes had 10 cats living in their houses
while some shared homes and their human's beds too!
Some cats called at many homes for a chat and a meal
with their friends and families before going home
to their own homes.
.
I watched that too this week on catch up tv after the vets we were seeing were talking about it as Magic was doing some of the patrolling behaviour behind the reception (she does this once she's had a good cuddle she goes exploring behind the desk at the vet hosp.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit surprised by how much the chap John was hailing the 'evidence' from the cameras as totally innovative - has he never lived with a cat or two!!! as I am sure the behaviours were all known by us cat owners. Maybe he should read the blogosphere more often.....! Made me laugh too that the behaviourist had taught her cat to come and sit for a treat. Magic will come on request and allow her ear to be jabbed and have insulin injected for no treat other than an 'I'm sorry cuddle' from me.
All the cats were wonderful but big Ted was probably my sneaky favourite. Big paws and a fluffy tummy get me every time!
Great show, did not like the kittens as I thought they were in my house. Skipper
ReplyDeleteMy mum watched it and I kind of watched it but soon grew bored. I also got a bit jealous because my mum was paying too much attention to the kittens.

I don't think we had that over her on this side of the pond but maybe we did. I only get 2 o3 stations. You do look like you were interested in those cats on the TV. Happy Monday to all of you.
ReplyDeleteYou watch the Cat News
ReplyDeleteI do watch you ;)
Happy Monday

We'd like to watch that show. The only cat tv we watch is "My Cat From Hell" about cats with problem owners.

We have heard about that. Kitties in the UK seem to be allowed outside more and are much more social. We have seen a couple of TV shows about this. It does seem to make for good watching. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteWe bet it was a lot of fun to watch all the kitties!

We tried to watch it on line...but we had to live in Britain to see it! Mommy is looking for a bootleg.
ReplyDeleteGee Lucy, it seems like those cats must not all have their very own homes and so must go visitin'...that is kind'a sad dont'cha know???
ReplyDeleteThe cats all did have homes but they also liked to share food and beds together - the cats were all from one street and just wandered in and out of each others homes without a crossed paw or cross meow.
DeleteI sure hope they will send that show in Sweden too , Lucy !
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it was furry interesting to watch !!
XOXO
