I've certainly not deleted that recording - well worth another watch, especially on a down day ;)

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.

Thanks for the link Jiji. Now I can make a mug of hot choc and watch it (the programme, not the hot choc).  :thanks:

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:

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 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:

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.

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.

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:

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.

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  ;)
