I’ve mentioned on a few occasions that I’m loving the Olympics. In fact, my whole family is enthralled with the events. Here’s my cat, Atticus, watching tennis on the telly.
I think I need to take him to the optometrist since he gets right in front of the TV to see all the action.

This is just too cute!
my puppy did the same during wimbledon but i think he just wanted the tennis balls to chew 😀
Our dog loves to chew on tennis balls.
He is adorable! 🙂
Thanks. I agree 🙂
Clever kitty! Next week is going to be such an anti-climax with no Olympics to watch…
I know. I’m not sure how I’ll handle it.
Priceless!
He is. Thanks.
lol …are you sure he is interested with Tennis? or maybe he just want to follow the ball’s movement 😉
Since I’m a tennis fan, I’m going to say that he loves the sport
Ha ha ha, too funny. Glad he’s enjoying the action, too. 🙂
Thanks Susi. I’m happy that he’s a sports nut as well.
That is SO funny – our dogs tend to prefer action movies 🙂
Our dog does too. His ears perk up and he really concentrates on the screen. It must be the noise.
Haha, that’s so cute!
His cute factor lets him get away with a lot around here.
Haha it’s the same with my dogs, they get away with a lot since they’re cute.
Glad to know I’m not the only sucker 🙂
No you’re not, haha.
This is the most beautiful one, 🙂 I loved so much… Blessing and Happiness, Thank you dear TBM, love, nia
He is very special to us. Thanks Nia.
You are all watching the TV so why can’t Kitty Cat! Adorable!
I don’t mind his watching, but he has a habit of blocking the part of the screen that has the most action. His timing is perfect and I missed many of the good points.
I know what you mean. Trompie sits on my lap and when I am interested in the TV he keeps on putting his head in front of me. I have to look to one side and then to the other side
Oh, I’ve been there. It’s amazing what we do for our animals.
Just don’t let him get this carried away…imagine watching the shotput….
That is just too cute. Atticus needs to pick up his game. He just watches. We’ve had boxing on lately, but he doesn’t show any interest.
Too cute! Maybe your kitty can get those cat’s eye contact lenses. Surely that’s why they make those, right?
I’m trying to picture putting in the contacts. He’s a fighter when he wants to be.
Adorable! I have heard that sitting too close to the tv will not damage your eyes, but will cause fatigue and eye strain – but that’s for human eyes – I haven’t heard anything for cats. (If Atticus needs corrective lenses, it would be the first cat I know of to wear glasses!)
I think he would look adorable with glasses. Not sure how I would get them to stay on.
Excellent pictures.
Mine jumped at the TV the other day when there was a documentary on birds. 🙂
That’s cute. I should see if Atticus would react. Cats are characters!
Cool Atticus 😆
He thinks he is 🙂
Cool cat aaand cool name! 🙂 It seems that he’s the athletic sort of cat, lol. Or maybe Atticus prefers watching the action instead of being in action. 😀
Sometimes he gets super active, but it is in short spurts. Thanks, he’s named after Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird.
I haven’t read the book yet. I thought I did, then I realized I was just imagining it. Hmmm. Makes me want to read it…
