it was just squirrels and chipmunks running around. One of my cats just sat politely but up close to the screen. The other went berserk, pushing buttons and jumping on top looking behind the TV. He pressed the channel changer and changed the video channel from 3 to something else and there went that. For months thereafter that cat spent most of his time staring at the usually blank TV screen, waiting for squirrels and chipmunks I guess. He ignored it before I ran that videotape.
