Sweet! I can just imagine that a cat would like snooker, following all the differently coloured balls!

My cat likes wildlife programmes, whenever she hears David Attenborghs voice she ones into the room, her favourite ones are the birds.

Whenever I'm watching TV my puppy always jumps up and sits on my lap, staring at the TV no matter what is on.

One of my cats like David Attenborough programmes too, with or without wildlife! She'll sit there and watch the whole thing. She often appears to sit and "watch" other TV programmes but nothing grabs her as much as Sir David! The other cat likes the radio on when I'm out as he's a bit of a stressy and gets separation anxiety. Radio 4 works best at calming him (music just doesn't do it!) and I often come home to find him curled up right next to the radio.

My cat seemed to like CBB. He always sat up and diverted his attention to the tv when it was on.

My Dog Poppy likes any wildlife programmes but she especially likes Dogs ironically! Whether its a documentry or just a dog on a soap, she will sit there and put her head on one side. So cute!

No. Neither cat nor dog are interested.

My dog love Beyonce's Single Ladies and twists and turns her head in time to the uh uh oh bit. If it comes on the tv or radio she'll appear from where ever she is to twist her head along. Kesha's Tik Tok has a similar effect.

My Alan likes me to sing to him. I sing stupid things like 'little baby Alan is a cutey, cutey cat...'. He turns on his back and acts all soft. They'll come to take me away if I'm not careful!

Springwatch, Autumnwatch any wildlife programme really. She gets up and walks over to the tv and starts standing on her hind legs meowing at the tv. They had a family of foxes on Springwatch and she got up off the sofa and sat slap bang in front of the tv watching them. She has a thing for men with beards too, she also likes penguins.


My partner has also got her watching Stargate and Star Trek

Awww, some lovely stories! Bless

My cats take no notice but my 3 budgies absolutely love it when I have the American Idol music on! The chat louder than usual and just react to it! Even ones that I have lost used to chat to it!

My cat Twiggy likes to sit on the couch in front of the tv and follow the football around the screen when Sky Sports is on.

He also likes the sound of The Clash (Punk Cat! :] ), it suits him too cus he's a bit of a rebel.

Neither of my cats like music. In fact, if I sing, Frazer leaves the room.

I thought pets saw something like a black and white flicker. Are the new breed of tellies more pet-sorbing?

There is one beautiful video clip on YouTube (which i saw on the RudeTube tv series on channel 4) of a cat who was emulating the boxing (s)he was watching on the tv, so (s)he must have been seeing more than flicker.

One of my cats is Attenborough mad. The others couldn't give a toss about telly. They all like to answer the phone though.

My brother had a dog who loved television. Especially ball games. Football and snooker were the best; seriously that dog followed the ball.

She would watch the play and cry when the TV was switched off.

Funniest thing ever.

One of my cats likes watching the Countdown. He also likes listening to Matt Forde and Mike Graham on talkSPORT at night.

One of my dogs hates an advert on the tv recently, its the one on the BBC where you can hear bombs going off. She reacts badly to noises and barks for a good 5 minutes after hearing it. We're never quick enough to mute it unfortunately.

My cat watches the snooker.
When I was a kid, we had a cat that would try to 'catch' the balls when they dropped into the two bottom corner pockets.

And currently, our older dog (4½yr-old Staff-x-Lab) will happily sit and watch anything with animals in it.

He also likes rock music...
Well, it seems that way - wherever he is in the house, he'll come and lie beside me when he hears it.
Maybe he genuinely enjoys the music - or maybe he just assosciates the music with the knowledge that I'll usually be sitting in a particular spot where he likes to curl up beside me.


Are the new breed of tellies more pet-sorbing?
Could be.... Our older dog seemed to take a lot more interest in the TV a coupla years ago, when our old CRT died and we replaced it with a larger plasma.

My friend had a Rottie who was transfixed by the Corrie theme tune & would gaze at the TV during the whole episode
I had a horse who loved music on the radio I used to put my radio on a shelf on his stable & he'd stand with his nose resting on it eyes half shut - really chilling

They couldn't see the old CRT (tube) all they would see would be flicking lines, yes they can actually see the flat screen type
