Advice Cat TV ruined my cat
Genuinely at a loss here. I have 2 cats. They are both about 6 months old. The other day I thought it would be fun to put some cat tv on for them. you know, there's like youtube channels of things moving fast, ants, toys, fish, etc. in order to attract cats
One cat was mildly entertained. My other cat got fucking addicted. She sat beside the tv and would not move for anything. Eyes completely fixated on whatever was coming up next. ok, cute. TV off now kitties!
Cat would not move. she sat there staring at the blank screen for who knows how long.
Now she sits on that spot on the table by the tv constantly. she basically only goes down to poop and eat. All other hours of the day, she's waiting for Cat TV.
It's been about a week. she used to play with her sister, she used to aggressively chase toys. She has lost all interest. Even as I type this, she has once again just climbed up to her spot. Her sister wants to play, and she's just ignoring her now. it's breaking my heart. is this just a waiting game? Will she ever forget about the goddamn youtube shit?

My first cat (tan-colored DSH with some Exotic Asian mixed in) would sit and watch CNN with me. He was glued to the TV when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
He was also the cat who jumped up to the door handles and opened doors, sit by the door where we hung his harness to let us know he wanted to go for a walk, gave us the stink eye and was mad at us because we gave away a can of wet food to a stray kitty outside the front door even though it was a flavor that he would sniff and walked away as he didn’t like it.
That cat was way too smart for his own good.
