Society for Aesthetic Deletions

This morning, Lou went out to get his car inspected and the oil changed. I stayed home, and just before Lou got back, I switched the station from Teen Titans (which had just fininshed) to Baby Animals and their Fuzzy Friends on the local PBS station. It's cute, a great fundraiser for PBS no doubt, and the classical music is soothing.

Lou comes in, and after some chatter and an attempt to find Artemis (successful), he sits down in his chair and pulls out the laptop. I've got my laptop on, and am checking LJ, occasionally looking up at the TV.

And finally, in the last five minutes of the program, my eye catches on Athena. Sitting in front of the TV, her head swiveled up, to look at it.

She's watching the TV. Literally. Watching the baby animals frolick about, turning her head only when they change from one segment to another, and then goes back to watching. And listening.

I tried really hard to contain my laughter. My first instinct is to pop up and grab the digital camera I borrowed from work. But I know that will disturb her, and she'll likely stop watching so intently. I hold in the laughter while pointing her out to Lou, who sees what I see. And eventually, the program ends and I let loose with chuckles that make my eyes water.

Eventually, she gives up since the baby animals aren't coming back, and wanders off.

But now I'm wondering...should I Replay this or find out if it's available on DVD, so I can buy it for my cat??
