I've certainly not deleted that recording - well worth another watch, especially on a down day

It's still in my sky planner for a second viewing!

maryas · « **Reply #38 on:** June 05, 2014, 15:02:23 PM »

I knew you would like it and I'm sure it put a smile on your face and cheer you up a bit with you being ill

I watched it yesterday and thought it was great. Didn't really learn anything I didn't already know but it there was some lovely camera work and I loved watching the slow mo footage of cats falling etc.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #36 on:** June 05, 2014, 06:59:47 AM »

Missed it, but hoping I can catch up on it later.

Hippykitty · « **Reply #35 on:** June 04, 2014, 18:12:13 PM »

Thanks for the link Jiji. Now I can make a mug of hot choc and watch it (the programme, not the hot choc).

CuteCats · « **Reply #34 on:** June 04, 2014, 16:56:27 PM »

Loved that programme! The stories were all so touching.

I've ordered the book about Jessi Cat and one about Hamish McHamish too!

I thought letting the blind cats outside was a bit odd (unless they had an enclosure), I think if I had a blind one I wouldnt be letting them wander about?!

I thought it was interesting about them being more receptive to high voices - Denzel always tries to sit on me whenever I am talking on the phone!

maryas · « **Reply #32 on:** June 04, 2014, 13:36:08 PM »

Yer I must admit Rosella I was also thinking Bonnie probably looked like that when she was a kitty

I was the same about their eye sight, I'm always saying to Bonnie "it's in front of you, you blind bat" but now I know it's just a 'cat thing'

Quote from: Bren22 on June 03, 2014, 14:45:33 PM

I was a bit sad that there was no mention of not letting the cat out until neutering and vaccinations, but I suppose you can't have everything.

I thought that was such a wasted opportunity. Really hated seeing her leaving through the cat flap aged 6 months without a tell tale spay shaved area. Very disappointed in what was otherwise a lovely programme. The blind cats were brilliant. Could have done without the the lion taming clip. Didn't know that cats were long sighted compared to us and can see better a few feet ahead rather than close too.

Noni was hooked to the screen for most of it too. The kittens miaowing esp made her ears twitch

The kitten they followed looked very much like what she would have looked like as a kitten

Is this available on the interweb catch-up player? I haven't got a telly which works since they switched off the analogue.

nickynoo93 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 03, 2014, 22:02:02 PM »

I've just watched it, the blind cat jumping up the tree was amazing, cats really are a superior breed.x

maryas · « **Reply #27 on:** June 03, 2014, 21:56:16 PM »

I keep forgetting to record that Susanne. Hope you are gonna be feeling better for Jaffa's birthday

Mary

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #26 on:** June 03, 2014, 21:54:29 PM »

Springwatch is dominating my viewing at the moment - can't drag myself away from the red button! But I'm off work sick at the moment so should be able to catch up with it tomorrow.

maryas · « **Reply #25 on:** June 03, 2014, 21:50:10 PM »

I'll be watching the dogs tomorrow as I've recorded it

Mary

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #24 on:** June 03, 2014, 21:12:26 PM »

I'm just catching up with it now, having first watched Alan Davies and the dogs

maryas · « **Reply #23 on:** June 03, 2014, 20:11:08 PM »

You're gonna love it Susanne, I promise.

Mary

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #22 on:** June 03, 2014, 16:51:53 PM »

I'll merge this with the other thread if nobody minds so that people don't have to post twice or decide which thread to post on!

I have downloaded it from catch up tv as I was already watching/recording 2 things on tv last night so couldn't record it. Not watched it yet.

maryas · « **Reply #21 on:** June 03, 2014, 15:22:31 PM »

Just a bit

My face is still aching from smiling

Mary

jezebel · « **Reply #20 on:** June 03, 2014, 15:11:35 PM »

So you liked it then, Mary?

Bren22 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 03, 2014, 14:45:33 PM »

I enjoyed it especially as I have a foster mummy and her four 3 week old kittens upstairs (CCG). I was a bit sad that there was no mention of not letting the cat out until neutering and vaccinations, but I suppose you can't have everything.

maryas · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2014, 10:37:08 AM »

It was amazing how Sugar survived that fall

:Luv2:The cat giving that boy confidence to do a speech at school too

There were so many fantastic things crammed in to 1 hour.

Totally agree about the kittens

Amazing when the slow motion showed their mum combing their fur with her tongue.

I was also surprised about the colour of the Siamese cats and I didn't know cats had whiskers on their front legs

The blind cat climbing the tree OMG what a leap it took

The cat and the dog that was half blind and deaf was so cute too. OMG I could go on and on, I thought it was fantastic

Mary

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2014, 09:52:12 AM »

I really enjoyed it

Purdy Bear · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:48:03 AM »

I loved it, it really helped with my cat withdrawl symptoms.

jezebel · « **Reply #15 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:41:52 AM »

Loved it - those little tabbie kittens were way off the cute scale! And loved Hamish McHamish, lording it around his town with his own seat at the hairdressers!

I learned a few things too - never knew that about Siamese cats' colouring being affected by temperature.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #14 on:** June 03, 2014, 07:39:45 AM »

I've recorded and looking forward to watching. Usually useless brother in law rang me at 9pm to tell me it was on

Wonder what he wants

maryas · « **Reply #13 on:** June 02, 2014, 23:52:34 PM »

No probs, it deserves more than 1 thread

So c'mon how many Aaaws came out of your mouth? I had a smile on my face for the whole time and kept tilting my head and saying "aaaw"

Really enjoyed this programme.

Mary

onyx · « **Reply #12 on:** June 02, 2014, 22:18:00 PM »

eeep! just started a new thread because i didnt see this one

onyx · « **Reply #11 on:** June 02, 2014, 22:17:15 PM »

did anyone catch the secret lives of cats on ITV tonight?

http://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week23/secret-life-cats#.U4zpmfmvU8A

i assume it will be on itv player shortly.

beautifully shot but as always... more towards general joe public rather than cat owners....

maryas · « **Reply #10 on:** June 02, 2014, 18:31:11 PM »

Remember to watch it or record it like I am doing.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #9 on:** May 29, 2014, 00:44:18 AM »

Yes I was thinking of the other one

CuteCats · « **Reply #8 on:** May 28, 2014, 19:09:34 PM »

Thanks! Sounds like a must watch.

There's a book about Jessi Cat I think.

maryas · « **Reply #7 on:** May 28, 2014, 13:20:16 PM »

No details were given when advertised so I looked it up on the internet and it's only on for 1 week. The week after it's about babies - not watching that - they don't have fur

Oh Sue, you must get him to record it for you

Mary

emmmy_lou · « **Reply #6 on:** May 28, 2014, 09:56:20 AM »

Thanks Mary, I havent seen this advertised (yet)

Will set my timer asap

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #5 on:** May 28, 2014, 08:08:01 AM »

They did one called the secret life of dogs - dont think this one os a repeat, but can think of the programme you may e thinking of Gill. So want to see this but I'm away on business next Monday, so will have to threaten cajole and coerce OH into remembering to Sky plus it.

maryas · « **Reply #4 on:** May 28, 2014, 02:49:54 AM »

No Gill, you're thinking if the Horizon one that was on BBC1, it had a similar name. At least I think you are

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #3 on:** May 28, 2014, 01:20:59 AM »

Isnt that a repeat?

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #2 on:** May 27, 2014, 23:14:54 PM »

Does sound lovely Mary

maryas · « **Reply #1 on:** May 27, 2014, 22:42:05 PM »
