Cats are fooled by HDTV

I found that my cat completely ignores standard television but is fooled by the realism of HDTV. The higher resolution and visual quality appear to bridge the gap in feline perception compared to lower-quality displays.

Cats are fooled by HDTV. Our cat tends to ignore normal TV completely. Guess HDTV looks real enough.

S Anand 20 Jan 2006 11:59 am: I HAVE read Dune. Thought it was quite different, but I didn’t like it as much as Ender’s Game, though. I started off on Dragonlance, but gave up mid-way. Now I’m reading Terry Pratchett.
SP 23 Jan 2006 4:13 pm: For more than one reason, i dont like Terry Pratchett, though I have read a lot of his books.. Always feel he’s ripped off Tolkien. Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, Dune are all pretty good.
S Anand 23 Jan 2006 9:46 pm: Haven’t tried the Dark Tower series. Will give that a shot.
Dhar 24 Jan 2006 3:12 am: Errr… Pratchett’s books are a work of parody. I wouldn’t be too surprised to find passages which seem to be “lifted” out of works of Tolkien and others…
S Anand 24 Jan 2006 5:44 pm: Haven’t read enough to spot lifted passages… let me see I can spot them :-)
Dhar 25 Jan 2006 8:45 am: Check the Annotated Terry Pratchett file.
