4163.0. "America's Funniest..." by TOPDOC::PHILBROOK (Customer Publications Consulting) Mon Nov 12 1990 09:33

    Did you all catch America's Funniest Home Videos last night? They had
    several really great clips on cats. Two that I remember most vividly
    were of one cat who was dive-bombed by a bird and when he was hit, he
    did a complete somersault! In fact, this was such a great feat, that
    this cat won the $100,000 prize! 
    
    The other was a cat who perferred to enter rooms that were lit so he 
    learned how to jump up and flick on the light switch!
    
    Anyone else see it and remember the others?

    Yes, I saw that episode!!  The cat that got dive bombed by the bird
    video was hysterical!!!  I was sorry my husband missed seeing it, he
    would have loved it.  I can just see that happening to one of my cats.

    I saw it...it was great.  How about all the little kitties that
    were playing nicely outside...and then something scared them and
    they all ran into hiding.   I love that show...and leave it to
    a feline to win the $100,000.  They better treat that cat to
    something wonderful.

	I saw one of their shows a few months back.  They showed a cat
	sleeping on the TV and it rolled over and fell off.  It was
	amusing but seemed stages.  Why would anybody film a sleeping
	cat unless they knew what was going to happen?  Nevertheless,
	this clip did come in as one of the top four.

    what a great clip of the bird/cat incident!  I saw it while watching
    the show with a "dog person" and it was a victory for cat people
    everywhere!!!! :)

    Does anyone remember the clip of the cat who's tail caught on fire from
    a candle and the family never noticed until they saw the video later?!
4163.6Cat on FireWR2FOR::HARPHAM_LYMon Nov 12 1990 13:126
    The cat-with-tail-on-fire episode was SO incredibly funny!!!
    
    Years ago I walked into the kitchen to find Iago asleep on the counter
    with the end of his tail draped across the stove, and the tip of it
    on fire from the pilot light!  Not so funny then!
    
4163.7Birds every spring... with new hatchlingsUSMFG::NROSTANZOMon Nov 12 1990 14:388
    
    Ever have your cat attacked by a bird?  It seems to be a ritual
    every spring when the lil tykes nest outside our door, especially
    when you have a crew of different birds chime in and yell at your
    poor cat who can't figure why their getting pinged off the head
    by screaming birds.   Mine always wanted to come in at that point...

    Did anyone tape that episode (last nights)?  I would love to borrow it.
    My husband had to watch something else.
    
    I promise to return it!

4163.9Cat on TVFSOA::HLEINONENTue Nov 13 1990 09:1412
    
    	Re: .3
    
    	The episode with the cat rolling off the tv set wasn't
    	quite staged, but it wasn't a first either. The owner
    	explained that the cat frequently slept on top of the cable
    	box and was such a deep sleeper that he/she often rolled off.
    	Once the cat rolled off it usually just jumped back up and
    	started all over again. They simply filmed it so that others 
    	could also enjoy the antics.

    	I remember that one....and I may be wrong but I swear
    	I saw someone/something move behind the stand that the TV
    	was on (ie: they pushed the cat off)

    I liked the one about the cat that liked getting vacumned!

    They all were hysterical.  Has anyone seen the  one where someone tied
    a string to the cats tail and watched the cat chase the string?  It's a
    RIOT!!  That cat went around in circles faster than ANY of my cats do
    with their regular toys!!
    
    I've been thinking of sending in a video of Michaela.  She was watching
    my mother play a nintendo game called "Zelda".  There's one part where
    a whole bunch of hearts go around in a circle.  She used to LOVE to try
    and catch the hearts!  We've got it on tape and it's a RIOT!!!
    
    Imagine a baby persian kitten going up and down and around in circles
    on the tv screen trying to catch these little hearts!
