Neither does it growl or flee from the TV intruders in your household. The image on TV is not the real world to the animal but a flickering pattern on an illuminated tube. We see the image as a depiction of reality because our intelligence and experience enables us infer the scene from its abstract representation. The animal does not. ?I think you are surely correct in the older technology, but todays' HD TV seems to have changed that, at least with cats. It is quite common for mine to pay attention to images on the screen, both TV and computer, particularly ?other cats and birds -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ Natchitoches, Louisiana 1714 Oldest Permanent Settlement in the Louisiana Purchase USA
