Loved it! Thanks, Issy!

They are a cute and cuddly evil...

Love that thumbnail, too. Bipeds go Nom Nom Nom.

hey! awesome docu!

i couldn't help but feel a little hoodwinked though. Nat'l Geographic's title (and beginning) suggested that it would be about the habits of the common housecat (beyond the obvious nap/eat/chase tiny things routine), but apart from the obligatory "housecats are like Big Cats...'cept they're smaller" nod, it was more about the cat's adaptation to the human influence, and the subsequent impact on the areas they are introduced into, and how the humans are responding.. i think i would have preferred it named "Cat Owner Ethics and the Cats That Adapt" or something like that....i'll get right on that letter to National Geographic as soon as that box of Tuits i have on the way gets here.


i'm still not knocking it, though.. but it seems like a dirty trick to get people (rather, Cat Owners,) who otherwise wouldn't have watched to give it a look... very.... un-National Geographic of them in that respect.

I have two VERY strong reactions:

People who would abandon a pet in a field are evil.

People should keep their cats inside.

Yeah. My Issy is strictly an indoor one, so she's never killed any animals or birds. I've only seen her eat spiders and bat around flies and moths. I think she sort of acts out her instincts by fetching little plush toys by the neck as her way of "offerings." She also likes to wrestle with an animal puppet or sock puppet, as she is an only child ("pet") with no siblings to play with.


Definitely after watching this vid, I realized there were other good and ecological reasons to keep a cat indoors, other than the many reasons I keep her inside already. Cleanliness, safety, health, and before she was fixed I of course did not want her to get knocked up. I never before had thought of it as protecting the outdoor wildlife from a potential mass-murderer! Whoa.

the look on the yellow cat at 10.22 is heartbreaking...
