You can get the big-screen TV, you can get the XBox and the Playstation with the latest and greatest games, but as this video makes clear, a cat is the only home entertainment system you really need — or will be permitted to use.

Someone needs to learn how to smile, and it’s not the cat.
Forget video games– try reading a book!
Kudos to the guy for being a cat person. You would think after the second or third time, he would learn, though. Kitty snuggles are better than games.
Maybe he does get it, though. The background song sounds like “I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You.”
Keep at it, kitty.
Love how the cat’s MO is to slide off of the guy’s chest and into the crook of his arm!
Effectively making that hand useless for pushing game control buttons! 🙂 smart kitty.
Yes, kitty has the “slide and flop” maneuver down perfectly! I give a 10!
Or maybe it’s the “flop and slide” maneuver? You know, like skating’s axles or axels?
Yes, so adorable and effective!
Then the lifted back paw, and little head nuzzle! Devastating!
I don’t know what’s funnier, the cat’s look of satisfaction or the guy’s look of resignation. I get the same look on my face when cats want to sit on my lap while I’m spinning or knitting yarn.
I laughed at both of those, too! And then there’s one point where the kitty sticks its hind paw On. The. Controller. 😀
It is a miracle that you can create so many beautiful sweaters with kitties in the house.
Or maybe they have also learnt how to knit? 🙂 I can totally imagine them knitting their own tiny p. hats for the winter!
That’s why I use circular knitting needles! Much less to bat around for the kitties, though they often lay down right on the yarn.
If they had thumbs, they’d be totally into knitting.
And I posted more sweaters for my 17 in 2017 Challenge recently:

Stormy Berry – wow it is beautiful! It really matches your eyes.
Looking at these pictures makes me want to learn to knit. I wish I could do it, but it is not easy with 2 left hands 🙂
Anybody can knit, I promise! If you can manage a pencil, you can manage needles. Try a local yarn shop or a Michaels store for a beginner class.
That city scape is pretty!
Thank you both for the compliments. It’s finally getting cool enough to wear them!
Beautiful, DEBG! I am so impressed. I’ve only ever knit one thing, for a boyfriend eons ago – it was a really simple but fairly effective pattern called a Portuguese Fisherman’s sweater. I was starting out doing an Irish Fisherman’s sweater and after about 2″ I decided it would never get done and changed horses in the middle of the stream, as the saying goes. Knitting scares me because I don’t know how to fix mistakes.
Hm the guy looks good, likes cats and games – such a fine specimen exists only on the Internet!
I used to live with a cat that would jump on my lap for affection when I was playing computer games. If I didn’t pet him quickly enough, he’d whap the space bar. The game I was playing when he developed this habit was Dark Souls.
For those not aware, this is a very challenging action game where dying can cause you to effectively lose both progress and imaginary money. Space bar causes the character to rapidly leap backward, typically into a previously-unaware enemy, off of a cliff, or into some horrible deathtrap. My roommate would hear the YOU HAVE DIED noise followed by swearing, and he’d laugh.
Sounds like you were trained easily enough.
Our office cat would lie on the chair behind me, like a living lumbar pillow. She’d be happy like that for hours. Or sitting on my lap – I learned how to type really well with my elbows held up and out!
I wrote my whole dissertation with my elbows up and out!
Oh how I *wish* we could have an office cat at my job
Guy: “*sigh* Fine, here are your scratches. I am not beating this level…again.”
