24, Survivor, American Idol, what's your favorite?
Well, for me actually, most of those current running shows are recorded on my PVR in the hopes I can catch up after tax season. I don't really get a lot of time to watch TV during tax season. Nature of the business and I do it willing (hey, it's only four months of my year! The rest is easy going).
Jingle however is a MAJOR couch potato. And I don't just mean she'll sort of pay attention to the TV, she cries at it until I turn it on for her. Needless to say, I've become very accustomed to the background noise in the living room while I'm working in the office. It's too the point where if I turn on the TV, no matter where Jingle is hiding, she runs to the TV to see if it's something she likes. She then either squats in front of the TV and watches the whole show, or goes back to her nap somewhere.
Jingle does have her favorite shows. She loves 24, especially if I turn on the surround sound. She is really getting into Dancing With The Stars. I think its the good music and bright colours whizzing around the screen. All three CSI's are a top choice also. She's not a big fan of reality shows though. Finds them boring.
But more than anything, she loves movies. Disney movies are a big one, her favorite there being Finding Nemo (nothing like adorable brightly coloured talking fish to amuse a cat!). She really enjoys The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy and will actually sit through the whole 4 hour extended version (although she may leave for a pee break, small bladder you know). She even paws the screen when there is a close up of Legolas! Did the same with Pirates of the Caribbean too and almost any Ewan McGregor movie she paws him. A cat after my own heart.
Her ultimate favorite TV viewing experience to date though, HARRY POTTER!!! Just like her Mommy, only worse. I do love the Harry Potter movies but any movie will grow a little old if watched constantly. How constantly do you ask? Well, just about every night for the past year and a half I have to put on a Harry Potter movie in the bedroom while I fall asleep. Yes, I said have to.
You see, Jingle insists on sleeping on the bed with me (sorry in advance to my future, currently unknown husband!). But she likes to fall asleep to the TV, thus, Harry Potter, every night. It gets better though. I set the TV timer to turn off every night (hey, I'm energy conscious!) and if it turns off before Jingle has fallen asleep, she'll cry and paw me until I wake up and turn it on again!
I know this sounds far fetched, but family will know. This is true! I have tried not putting the movie on and after a few minutes, Jingle gives up crying and leaves the bedroom. I won't see her all night. So I cave, and watch the movies every night.
Here's some proof if you still don't believe me (yes, that's a chipmunk and Finding Nemo)
