This morning I woke up to the soft blue glow of our living room television.
This happens about twice a month and I can’t figure out how they do it because I have trouble turning the beast on.
It has a weird quirk and can only be turned off by the remote control, not on. To turn it on, one must find the far right button in a row of flat buttons that cannot be felt nor seen in low light. Once the button is found, a simple touch won’t work. I find myself pressing firmly on it for a couple of seconds before it decides to work.
The real mystery here is, if these cats are smart enough to figure out how to turn on this very difficult TV. Why not turn on the cable box? That one is easy.

Maybe they DO know how and just enjoy watching YOU struggle to do it (tee hee).

I need to set up a video camera just to learn how to use my TV.
maybe they leave the easy part for you and help you out with the complicated work? or maybe you should call the ghostbusters… just in case… ;o)
It’s funny because I shut it off this morning, wrote this post then noticed the TV was on again.
From the prospective of an anipal – moi – we are smarter than you think. I know how to use the remote for mine in my bedroom. That’s why mom puts it high up on my bookshelf at night. Just sayin’. You have no idea what goes on behind your back and especially when you are asleep. Now I’m off to meet the mailman to shred dad’s credit card bill for something I might have or might not have ordered. Toodles. XOXO – Bacon
I know they are smart. I just hope I don’t get a large bill for on demand from the cable company.
Uh-oh…. that could be a possibility. I may have or not have bought a Bollywood movie once with subtitles. I’m still blaming that one on Hemi here. XOXO – Bacon
Hahaha…
We are always changing channels, turning off the TV and even unplugging it. That unplug really gets Dad going. We stand on the control to do our fun work MOL

Keep up the good work. 😉
doodz….care full …yur dadz thiz close ___

lay low fora while sew him forgetz thiz
bee for ya moove on ta plan “E” ~~~~ 🙂 ♥♥♥
Maybe I should start with plan E.
Let’s just hope you have parental controls because if they learn to turn on the cable box you don’t want them purchasing any “KITTY PORN”…………..MOL MOL MOL!!!!
That’s what I’m worried about. 😀
If the cable box is too easy, then it’s not a challenge!
Oh, they just do it to keep me guessing. If it was the box I wouldn’t think twice.
Are you sure they don´t open your computer… keep your credit cards in a safe place.
With these cats, anything is possible​.
I guess they just wanted some light and didn’t want to watch anything 🙂
They are good at getting what they want. 🙂
So….. does Poltergeist occur to you? Just saying…
Love and licks,

If a ghost is in my house and only wants to watch tv, I’m ok with that.
You need to set up one of those videocams to find out how.
Yes, one with night vision.
I have no doubt the cats are the culprits! Mine step on the radio remote, changing the station in the process, too. Since I only listen to one station, I know I didn’t do it! They occasionally do the same with the television, just like your cats and your television.
They apparently have the remote figured out better than me.
