As you know, every cat is different, but I find very interesting how they interact with technology, TVs, cellphones, computers, tablets and whatnot. Some of them ignore them completely, others are fascinated .

My whole family (dad, mum, sister , me) live with cats, and everyone is different!

I am allowed

Lately Abby has been fascinated when my husband has any types of sports on TV. :lol3:

My Katy could care less about modern technology, but I have a feeling this is going to be a fun thread!!  Thank you Olguita for starting this thread.

My cats all love to hang out with me when I watch tv. Casey has to sit right in front of the tv in my bedroom when I turn it on. I have to ask him to move and he usually will either move or lay down on the tv table so I can actually watch tv. Apollo watches baseball with me. Casey and Sonny have no specific preferences. Starbuck likes to watch anything I am watching when I am in bed..

Casey has to sit on my lap top when I first set it up. The other 3 ignore it. No one is interested in my Kindle tablet or our cell phones. Starbuck will lay on my hand when I use the mouse for my desktop and also likes to walk across my keyboard.

My boy, Eric, sleeps on my TV remote, so the channel changes when he moves. He certainly knows his name. We were watching a documentary on Eric Clapton, and Eric meowed every time he heard his name

Sarah likes listening to classical music, but other than that, she has no interest in technology.

One of my cats will play with those interactive "cat apps" on the phone where they have bugs running across the screen for them to catch. I have a video of it somewhere. It is hilarious. My other cat doesn't care at all. Neither of them really watch the TV. They both watch my "cat tv" which is what I call my turtle tank! lol

Shortly before Connor and Murphy came home with us, my aunt warned us that we had better expect paw prints all over the tv because Connor was fascinated and constantly trying to figure out how the people and animals got in the box.  She was right.  Murphy couldn't seem to care less.  Connor's interest has waned somewhat, but he still pokes and sniffs at the screen at times.
