Andy blocks English language films, too. The war is endless! So are the strategies for getting my kitty boy out of the way. (Yeah, I could get up and physically move him out of the way, but then I’d have nothing to post for you!)
The new floofy toy creates a distraction Andy can’t resist…
…for it mesmerizes him in place, a new place! Now I can enjoy the movie.
Sorry to say this but I hate cats (dogs on the other hand is a lovable, honest and loyal). Any effective tips to keep neighbor’s cats away from my garden? The details of my headache with cats is here (https://bjthoughts.com/2017/01/damn-i-hate-cats/)
From an evolutionary point of view, cats predate humans, so we are the interlopers in their world.
As for the cat vs. dog issue, I personally like both, though where I live (in a retirement community), dogs are a barking and pooping nuisance. I chose to have cats for pets because they are quiet compared with dogs, smaller than most dogs I’d like to have, and (with work) neater than dogs.
There are programs on Animal channel here about “bad” cats and “bad” dogs. Inevitably, the cat or dog is a sweet being, just has an ignorant human who is clueless about how to improve the pet’s behavior.
My two, incidentally, are inside cats. I don’t believe in letting them be outside cats because they are black. In America, there are ignorant, superstitious people who thing black cats are bad luck, so will harm them. For that matter, there are bad people who will run them over if they are handy and on the street. There also are abandoned cats that can infect house pet cats with an assortment of diseases or get in fight with the house cats, causing injuries and veterinarian bills.
An other issue: most times the stray cats are intact and able to reproduce! I believe in neutering or spaying pets that aren’t used for breeding pedigree animals. Too many “excess” cats and dogs are killed in shelters for lack of people wanting a perfectly good and healthy pet. (I believe in adopting shelter cats and dogs if a person wants a pet. Those I’ve adopted turned out to be excellent pets, mostly because they chose me, not the other way around. Cats and dogs let you know through body language if they trust you and want to have more time – a home, for example! – with you.
The next time you find a cat behaving in an unacceptable way, blame the human who let that cat wander without supervision or, worse, abandoned the cat to make its way through a far shorter life than an inside cat by scrounging food in a KFC or wherever it can. The same applies to dogs. Humans are the problem, not the cat or dog!
Ah, so even clever Andy could be fooled!
So he would have us think…!
LOL
The humans have to work hard to stay ahead of the kitties! 🙂
LOL! Can’t be done, I think.
Hahaha! That takes me back to Cyril, Doug. Hehe!
Andy’s off his game today. There’s a movie to block on the television and he’s asleep on the stacked carriers!
Slack that! Hehehe! He might give you time to get into film, first?
TTFN
You read his mind! I’m watching a silent movie just now and two foreign films follow. He’s resting and waiting for his cue, I guess…
Hehehe!
Cunning Kitty!
As my grandfather use to say…”you make a better door than a wi9ndow”….LOL chuq
That was what my parents used to tell me in my youth, and I think it every time Andy (rarely, Dougy) does this, which is really often.
To watch your TV you have to use Sioux ‘ s tricks to move Andy!! 🙂
In friendship

It would be much easier if I just stood up and walked over toward the television, but less fun for the kitty and me! Ha!
kind of game between Andy and you,, Doug ! 🙂
He usually wins! The weekly foreign films are about to start, so andy better wake up. He has a job to do.
dood….ya noe, if dad wood go get hiz own tee vee, thiz wood knot bee a problem !! 🙂 ♥♥
LOL! I thought that WAS my TV!
maybe I should try to mesmerize the two too to watch a movie in full screen?
Could work…!
