Lucius and Ivanhoe

erastesI wish one of my myriad digital cameras were working. I would show you Lucius watching the television. That's him in the icon.
He ADORES the telly. He sits in front of it, bolt upright and watches avidly. He even watches when sitting on my lap.
He likes cartoons - probably the 2d thing - Futurama is one of his favourites, but he's quite fond of Spongebob. His very favourite thing to watch is football (soccer) though, which is galling as I hate it, and (how sad am I) let him watch half an hour or so, because he enjoys it so much. He gets up on his hind legs and follows the ball with his front paws.
Right now, he's in front of the screen watching the big final fight scene in Ivanhoe (the Elizabeth Taylor version). He's rivetted. He likes action scenes with lots going on, he particularly loved the Jousting, and was quite disappointed when Ivanhoe got wounded.
He'll lose interest when the smooching starts. He's not into soppy stuff. But omg he does love a good swordfight! He just punched George Saunders on the head. *dies laughing*
Yes - the trial scene and he's buggered off into the garden. He's so shallow.

Date: 2007-01-14 04:24 pm (UTC)I caught my cat a few times sitting on top of the TV (before we had a flatscreen) with one paw hanging down in front of the screen, batting at things occasionally. The same cat used to watch occasionally from the sofa, but not with quite the same level of attentiveness as yours.

We once watched a documentary film about wild life in the jungle and when they showed a scene in which a rabbit was roasted over a fire, my friend's rabbit hopped in front of the TV, laid down, and watched the scene. We laughed so hard.

I'm not a religious person, but I really feel that I was MEANT to have these two - completely OTT over affectionate cats - at a time when I really needed them. I mean I could have had any of them at that refuge place and another cat might have been completely normal! (god forbid!)
