Cats on National Geographic TV

I watched the neatest show on National Geographic TV last week called Cats in the Womb. It will be on the National Geographic TV channel again Friday night (January 16) at 6:00 pm EST. If your bean can't be there on time from work, please encourage them to record the show and you can watch it together. The show uses some amazing photography and technology to film both a lion and a cat from conception to birth and compares the development of both. If you can't get the TV channel, you can see a short video at the National Geographic website.

What's that on TV, Mom?


Oooooo! This looks a lot more interesting than football!

Wow! That's a kitten in the womb. Where is all of its floof?
I wish there were more cat shows on TV!

We watched the short video online, and it looks like it is a very interesting program. We tried to get Praline TV on our TV, but I think we need to upgrade our cable package.

We hope this gets shown in the UK soon. There was an Animals in the Womb programme a while ago, but it only had a teensy bit about cats.

Thanks for the info, Praline and yes, you're right. Unfortunately not enough prime time TV shows are of interest to us cats. Someone should write to the networks about this!!

Mickey's Musings said...

We agree with you Praline!! TV needs more cat shows. They would be way more interesting than bean shows!!!!!

Oh we are getting that channel for free this month Praline and I keep missing that show! Thank you for telling us when it's on again. I will set the timer so I can see it.
Curling up under a blanket to watch tv sounds good.
Have a great evening with Mommy Paula!

It was a great show, so many cool facts.

Angel MoMo and Charlotte said...

Yep, we should purr, mieow and clamour for more cat shows on the TV. Beat those silly programs where humans chase each other for a ball. Give them one each and solve the problem.

Praline, we saw the videos online - they were very interesting. Hopefully mom can get this show somehow!!! Thank you for telling us about it!
