Some pets enjoy watching TV with us or even have their own favorites that they like to watch. Our dog watches TV so intently that if you disturb her, she gets upset! Good News Dog shared a video of three kitties watching TV, and it’s the cutest thing you’ll see today.
The video is very short but take one look and you’ll understand why viewers fell in love with it. It shows the kittens sitting in front of the TV, watching the screen. But what’s so cute about the kitties is that they’re all sitting in a line from biggest to smallest!
They’re perfectly lined up in order and it’s too cute! We wonder if they always sit like that or if it was a one-time fluke. Either way, we’re glad they’re humans shared it with the rest of us!
People left hundreds of comments about Good News Dog’s video. @laylabelle_crazycat swooned, “That is literally one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen!” @ottovonaaron left an adorable comment, “CAT, Cat, cat.” @gobucks415 added, “Nesting dolls!”

Do Cats Like Watching TV?
If you’re wondering if cats actually enjoy watching TV, the answer might surprise you. They don’t process information the same way that we do and might be more attracted to the light and sound, not the plot of the show.
Cats.com explains, “It is less certain how cats process these images and what they think they are seeing. Cats in real life rely highly on scent and hearing to navigate their environments, with vision being a less important sense. It might just be the stimulating nature of flashing lights and moving images that catches their attention.”
The article goes on to say, “Television can be entertaining for cats! It can be a source of enrichment, especially for shelter cats, or a sedentary indoor cat, or perhaps a cat that is recovering from illness or injury and therefore has restrictions on their normal activities.”
That being said, don’t rely on TV to act as a babysitter or your cat’s only interactions with other animals or humans. Cats need enrichment, whether that comes from outdoor access (or a catio), or natural hunting and play behaviors, or activities with their humans like games, food puzzles, and grooming. Make sure they have plenty of things to keep them busy to prevent destructive behaviors and actions.
