he has a particular interest in bears, which makes sense because he is built like one. and at 93lbs, sometimes he seems like he is one.
cant get him interested in watching on a small screen, tho. just the big screen tvs.

was OBSESSED with speed skating during the Olympics. He never really paid attention to the TV before, but when speed skating was on, he would sit right in front of the TV and watch it very intently.

That kitty has really pretty markings. I'm allergic to the kitties, but sure do appreciate their beauty!

The cats we had as kids used to like to lay on top of the tv and whack at things moving on the screen particularly football and hockey players. They slept through basketball and baseball. I'm not sure if that meant they didn't like basketball or football or if it meant they liked it.

My old dog, Boo, LOVED watching horses on the tv. He'd even look behind the tv to see if the horses were back there. He wasn't interested in any other animals though including dogs. It's rather odd since he never actually saw a real horse in his life.

Yoshi has no interest whatsoever of anything on the tv or any sounds it makes. He definitely wants to be involved in the tv watching ritual if there's snacks though... I suspect he's only watching the snacks and not the tv.
