Cat Television






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.

  1. 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.

    I 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!

  3. My 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.

  4. 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.

  10. 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

    1. The 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.
