KatE barks back and stays lazer-focused on the TV. She also has the best hearing, and barks when the neighbors, or their dogs, go into their back yard...or the kids across the street come out to play...or a delivery is made at our front door...or she hears a squirrel. She can hear a squirrel no matter how stealthily is moves.
Her Mama, Kenzie, is a little less excitable--except with the squirrels. She doesn't allow too much of anything to interrupt her beauty rest. And she is dead weight when I need to move her out of my place so I can go beddie-bye each night. She is the fastest sleeper I've ever known--going from settling in to dead sleep in sixty seconds flat. Or less.
While Moggy does not react to outside visitors, or most TV shows, I have caught him playing in my books and actively watching nature shows...and travel shows involving the beach--in particular serene beaches without crashing waves.
Knowing The FurKids like to watch the occasional show, I try to leave the TV playing softly on a timer when I'm expected to be away for long stretches of time . Softly so they are not inundated with sound. And on the timer, because I set the timer when I first bought the TV, and quite frankly, have forgotten how to undo the settings I set--when the TV goes off while I'm a show, I simply over-ride the sleep setting by turning the TV back on.
Since The FurKids like the occasional show, I was not too suprized when I heard a stylized version of Taps playing on the TV during a funeral scene and saw KatE sitting at attenton watching it. I thought it was sweet and my heart melted a little. I was in another room and did not have access to my phone/camera, otherwise there would be a photo to accompany this post.
As soon as Taps ended, KatE eased into a heads-up down position and continued to watch the credits roll. She evidently has discerning taste in what she watches, because when the ads started she put her head down and went back to ignoring the TV.
Until the next show started and her head poped back up for a look-see.
The entire time KatE watched the Taps presentation, Kenzie was snoozing, and Moggy was in the other room with me.
I don't believe in consequences, and I can't really say KatE was actually paying her respects; however, the timing was pretty cool...😉
