No Gill, you're thinking if the Horizon one that was on BBC1, it had a similar name.  At least I think you are  :rofl:

No details were given when advertised so I looked it up on the internet and it's only on for 1 week.  The week after it's about babies - not watching that - they don't have fur  :naughty: :evillaugh:

Oh Sue, you must get him to record it for you  ;)

No probs, it deserves more than 1 thread ;)

So c'mon how many Aaaws came out of your mouth?  I had a smile on my face for the whole time and kept tilting my head and saying "aaaw"

Really enjoyed this programme.  :Luv2:  :hug:

Loved it - those little tabbie kittens were way off the cute scale! And loved Hamish McHamish, lording it around his town with his own seat at the hairdressers!

I learned a few things too - never knew that about Siamese cats' colouring being affected by temperature.

It was amazing how Sugar survived that fall  :wow: :Luv2:The cat giving that boy confidence to do a speech at school too  :wow:  There were so many fantastic things crammed in to 1 hour.

Totally agree about the kittens  :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:  Amazing when the slow motion showed their mum combing their fur with her tongue.

I was also surprised about the colour of the Siamese cats and I didn't know cats had whiskers on their front legs  :wow:

The blind cat climbing the tree OMG what a leap it took  ;D

The cat and the dog that was half blind and deaf was so cute too. OMG I could go on and on, I thought it was fantastic  :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:

I enjoyed it especially as I have a foster mummy and her four 3 week old kittens upstairs (CCG).  I was a bit sad that there was no mention of not letting the cat out until neutering and vaccinations, but I suppose you can't have everything.

I'll merge this with the other thread if nobody minds so that people don't have to post twice or decide which thread to post on!

I have downloaded it from catch up tv as I was already watching/recording 2 things on tv last night so couldn't record it.  Not watched it yet.

Springwatch is dominating my viewing at the moment - can't drag myself away from the red button! But I'm off work sick at the moment so should be able to catch up with it tomorrow.

I've just watched it, the blind cat jumping up the tree was amazing, cats really are a superior breed.x

Is this available on the interweb catch-up player? I haven't got a telly which works since they switched off the analogue.

I was a bit sad that there was no mention of not letting the cat out until neutering and vaccinations, but I suppose you can't have everything.

I thought that was such a wasted opportunity.  Really hated seeing her leaving through the cat flap aged 6 months without a tell tale spay shaved area.  Very disappointed in what was otherwise a lovely programme.  The blind cats were brilliant.  Could have done without the the lion taming clip.  Didn't know that cats were long sighted compared to us and can see better a few feet ahead rather than close too. 

Noni was hooked to the screen for most of it too.  The kittens miaowing esp made her ears twitch  :)  The kitten they followed looked very much like what she would have looked like as a kitten  :Luv2:

Yer I must admit Rosella I was also thinking Bonnie probably looked like that when she was a kitty  :Luv2: :hug:

I was the same about their eye sight, I'm always saying to Bonnie "it's in front of you, you blind bat" but now I know it's just a 'cat thing'  :evillaugh:

I thought letting the blind cats outside was a bit odd (unless they had an enclosure), I think if I had a blind one I wouldnt be letting them wander about?!

I thought it was interesting about them being more receptive to high voices - Denzel always tries to sit on me whenever I am talking on the phone!  :rofl:

Loved that programme!  The stories were all so touching.  :Luv:

I've ordered the book about Jessi Cat and one about Hamish McHamish too!  :)

I watched it yesterday and thought it was great.  Didn't really learn anything I didn't already know but it there was some lovely camera work and I loved watching the slow mo footage of cats falling etc.
