Yes. Its very annoying. I try to have him balance it out with some reading or at least by watching a Documentary...

all my tykes are furbabies. none of my current ones will watch tv, even when noisy animals are featured, but i have had cats who were entranced by specific things on tv. i had one cat who only liked birds... and lassie. she loved lassie. she didn't like real dogs but lassie she adored. i had another who got excited watching crows and tried to fly into the tv to catch them. another cat i had loved the lion on an old buddweiser commercial, plus anything with any animal whatsoever, plus certain humans.
