The older ones used to but not as much now. However, they all love hockey!

She blocks shots, steals passes and swipes dibbles away. A riot to watch her.

They esp. like Carlos Santana and classical music.

They also seem to like my crummy guitar playing as well.

Both cats hate any kind of music and will slink out of the room as if the noise hurts their ears if it persists very long.

my late, beloved cat, Nigel, was mesmerized by. He would come running every time he heard that commercial come on. These days, my Rosie watches TV occasionally. It can be anything with interesting movement. She'll watch it for half an hour or so then she moves on.

She loves to watch and tries to "catch," and sometimes bite, moving objects. She especially likes people who wave their hands when talking! I've seen her try to bite Mitch McConnell's head off! LOL Great fun!

14. I've always had cats and sometimes dogs.

We never had an animal that would watch TV until the cat we have now. Even as a kitten, she would watch and now watches all the time. She's especially interested in shows with animals but will watch anything with movement. This Old House gets her attention. A lot of the time she'll jump up and try to get close or hang around the back of the set to see where everything went.

I'll even hold my laptop screen in front of her face to watch cat or bird videos. She turns her face away. Has no interest.
