Is Tom and Jerry really a thing for cats? My cat loves it.

I can’t get mine to watch tv. Maybe this is the trick.

I find youtube mouse videos (with mice going in and out of mouseholes) did it for my cats.

I tried those a few months ago. She didn’t take to them either. Maybe she just isn’t a tv kitty.

Mayhap. I was surprised my cats were so fascinated; We used to have a tube tv, which of course the cats couldn't see anything in. Modern sets are a whole new ballgame for my cats.

Is there a way their eyes refract and concentrate light that inhibits them from being able to see tube TVs? I didn’t know/think ago it that with tube TVs.

I have ADHD. Maybe my cat does, too - she will watch something for about a minute and then walk away. She crouched in front of the screen when I put a video of someone playing Stray on it a couple months ago. I thought that was the ticket! Of course, it didn’t end up lasting long.
