Atari 2600 for pets?

My cat has recently become obsessed with watching me play missle command. Her entire HEAD follows the cursor as it moves around the screen. She also has been trying to sleep on the 7800, which I am trying to break her of. She hated the Dreamcast and would walk across the OPEN button any chance she got. The xbox is just another place for her to sleep, and she never cared one way or the other for the Saturn. Do any of you out there have pets who share your love for Atari?

Years ago, my first cat used to sit with me while I played. He liked to watch most of the fast-moving games. Of course, he also liked to watch the Price is Right with my mom, so there's no accounting for taste. My current hellbeast bites my ankles when I play the games, to get me to pay attention to him.

My dog Laila LOVES to chase the buckets in Kaboom! There is "nose art" all over the screen from her doing it.

 

 

Anybody know how to clean a big screen?

"Nose art" sounds like real fun, Cassidy!!

I bet someone will create a website about it sooner or later

 

My cat is usually only sporadically interested in mouse movement. I think my redfish'd likely get more involved in videogames

 

Regards!

Hmmmm I wonder if my cats would like Fishing Derby??

I remember the cats I had when I was younger attracted to the games I played, it is even funnier when they are stoned on Catnip. They are really fixated on it then. And who were these idiots that said that cats/dogs can't see the images on TVs, maybe they used dead animals for the studys. I finally broke my dog the habit of barking at the TV when the damn Domino's commercials have the f'ing doorbell ringing. I hated it when they had it ring a few times during the hardware store bell one when someone hits the button and all the men rush to the display. It was just another reason to dislike Domino's.

I discovered a few years ago that one of my cats goes NUTS over televised horse racing. She stands up and paws frantically at the horses on the tube. Unfortunately, all attempts with Stampede have failed.

When I was a kid, my cat used to love to watch us play Video Pinball. It purred, it stared at the screen, it tried to follow the ball and it pawed at the screen whenever the ball came near her ... but then again, so did my sister.

My Golden Retriever (Jefferson) will watch me play Pitfall for hours. I play it on a big screen, and as Harry runs across the screen, Jefferson just sits there and pannes his head from right to left, then snapping his head back to the right side of the screen again...following Harry the whole time. It's really funny to watch. Very similar to how a crowd watches tennis.

My cat Tiger loved Super Mario World. He'd ever try to bite Mario on the screen.

 

Never paid attention to anything else, including Atari games.
