She even took to perching like they do when she wants to watch something out the window. "Aliens", on the other hand, is not a good cat movie. I don't know what animal they used to make the "alien" screech, but when it came on my formerly semi-feral buddy Loki got hysterical, leaping high into the air, bolting out the cat door and then refusing to come back in for almost a full day. They both like the movies that have the lion roaring at the beginning of the show. My cat Lola loved watching Meerkats.

Like birds in a cage or something? Does it have to be an actual movie with a plot? Doesn’t someone make a CD that a cat can watch when you’re away. Like birds in a cage or something?

It isn’t Final Jeopardy yet.” I just lol-ed for real. Two of mine aren't much for movies (one, I suspect, because her vision is poor), but Sif loves them. She always enjoyed certain kinds of movies, but when we got our big plasma tv she discovered a whole new world of fun stuff. She loves really colorful movies and movies with lots of scenery and maybe horses. So far her favorites appear to be Prince Caspian (bonus prey animals behaving cutely, while I get to enjoy Ben Barnes) Phantom of the Opera (I can't explain this, aside from it's gaudy and there's lots of motion) and Kingdom of Heaven (lovely colors, lots of outdoors footage, and horses). Lord of the Rings is nice, too. Stardust. Pretty movies. She doesn't like big battle scenes, though, and Watchmen actually freaked her out horribly. She hissed at the TV and hid in my bedroom. She likes Justice League cartoons, too. The colorful thing is interesting. I know they see color differently from us. Her enjoyment of color in movies only really started to show on the huge plasma screen. I suspect the larger areas of color are easier for her to see. Small areas wouldn't register, but larger ones do. That she CAN see the color is not in dispute; she very obviously can, and appears to really like things that are yellowy-green. Odd. “That’s the opening theme. It isn’t Final Jeopardy yet.”
