Downyflake (not his real name, but used to avoid embarrassment), is a large orange Maine coon cat according to Anne McCaffrey. He does not often display the intelligence I suspect he has. Perhaps he doesn't want to let on how smart he is since if he did, I would expect more from him than sleeping, eating and well the end product of eating.
I have not witnessed him watch TV in the 8 years he's been a member of our family. That changed rather suddenly, while we watched a show about the tiger that escaped from a zoo enclosure and had a visitor for a late night snack.
Downyflake seemed transfixed, rarely moving his eyes or ears. His focus was total. So much so, that he did not react to my using the flash to capture the moment, which I refer to as his call to the wild side.
Guess that DNA stuff runs deep and runs silent.
