Please tell me that you are kidding!!! Cats don't
need a TV and VCR!!
Actually there was a story on the news a few weeks ago saying that
only "slow" cats like TV. They process information faster so a normal
cat doesn't see anything on the TV but a bunch of streaky lines - the
refresh rate is too slow for them. Imagine how hard it would be for
US to watch TV if it was closer to 10fps instead of an interlaced 30!
They just watch the scan lines going back and forth. Slow cats, on
the other hand, love them and are usually seen chasing things across
the screen. I've had my cat chase the mouse cursor across the screen
on the computer, but only when it's set to the highest refresh
setting.
