Another Spy in the Jungle
The acclaimed nature series by David Attenborough, Spy in the Jungle is a big hit in our household. It is the cat's very favourite television show. How do we know? He has never paid attention to anything on TV before - perhaps he is smarter than most humans.
But when the tigers came on TV in Spy in the Jungle, Indiana, our cat is captivated.
Of course, when the action gets too intense, or is it when the subject gets too far away, you just have to go for a closer look.
And he's not too concerned by them either. Maybe he recognises a distant relative, perhaps he wants to join in the meal, or is it that the company of a fellow cat is welcome.

And no matter how close, or what the action, for the whole hour the show is on TV, he sits there with rapt attention.
Totally captivated and fascinated at the antics of the big cats in the wild, beamed straight into his lounge room.
Of course, when the ads come on, his attention drifts to more mundane things in the house, such as the state of his food bowl, or litter tray, just like some people we know. But when the tigers come back on TV, get out of my road, be quite please, I have a show to watch. After all, this is important cat stuff.

Framed beautifully, welcome back Scatterdays or is this just accidental? (see Di Soupy's blog)

Indiana recognises cousins I think,
