Cats like HD, apparently

So it appears that high definition programming has a side effect that I really hadn’t expect, the one of making my cat decide that all moving objects should be swatted at. I had thought he’d be out of control once the television was put up on the wall and there was a way for him to reach it, but nothing really happened for awhile. All of a sudden in the last two weeks or so, he’s decided that sitting on top of the electronics in front of the television and waiting for moving objects that he’d like to slay. Regular television doesn’t cause much of this behavior, but things like NASCAR, where he can sit there and swipe at cars as they go around the bend, and hockey, where there are contrasting colors that make for easy prey, seem to be his favorites. So, after almost a year of having no issues with the television being accessible, there’s now more than a fair share of cat paw prints all over my television. Oh well. Such is life, I suppose.

My two cats have started watching more and more tv. I don’t know what to make of it, but they only watch HD. I thought the same thing, it has to be the vivid colors and contrast.

It’s strange, right? In all seriousness, it’s not like the HD is new. I’ve had it for quite some time. He’s just REALLY getting into it of late. Oh well.
