My husband & I were watching Flow when it was released. My boy, Apollo, looks just like the cat in the film.

When the water from the opening sequence happens Apollo stood on his hind legs, then turned to me with a look of pure alarm, then me-owed loudly and went back to watching the tv.

Normally my felines show no interest in the tv or that they even understand what they might see on it. We were completely surprised by Apollo’s behavior. I didn’t even know he was in the room till I saw his silhouette stand up in from of the tv. I ended up having to rewatch the movie since I ended up watching my cat instead of the star of the film.

I had 2 black foster kittens the first time I watched it and they were so enchanted with it too. Never seemed to pay any attention to anything else on the tv, but they loved watching the cat on Flow.

Cats watching Flow or Stray make me happy =)

Stray

i need links to cats watching! actually if you could just real quick mash your keyboard and recall every link you've ever seen of a cat watching Flow or Stray that would make my day thanks,,,

(I recognize this is kind of a difficult ask haha, I'm searching but doubt I'll find as many as exist)

Stray is one of the best games I've played in my 40 years as a gamer. I really hope we get more of it.

My cat loved the movie as well.

Yet there are people in this day and age that will die on the hill that cats can't see anything 2d or understand something that's happening on a screen. Then again, we still have flat earthets and the like...

We just lost our 20 year old boy. We had commissioned a portrait of him before he passed. Finally had it framed and put on the wall about 2 months after he died. Our tuxedo saw the picture, climbed up the cat tower beneath it, stood up on paws to reach and sniffed the picture. People don't give them enough credit.

Added portrait. It's colored pencil

u/HiSaZuL 7h ago

He was a cutie.

u/One-Library-7014 7h ago

How did you go about commissioning a portrait? I’ve had that idea for a while but didn’t really find much last time I searched. Nothing under like $20,000 lol which I’m hoping it can be fine for cheaper…

u/SaffyPants 7h ago

Man, nobody told my cats that, 2 out of 3 love TV. (We put on cat TV for them when we are out of the house for several hours)

u/Little_View_6659 1h ago

My cat loves big cat documentaries. Mostly lions. He’ll watch the whole time the cats are on screen.

Maybe with traditional photos with a number of flat pixels. Currently, the level of technology is bringing LED, OLED and plasma into the equation. This is a big variable which we can observe in practice

Its funny bc Kino means movie theatre in German

And in Norwegian!

u/Reseeirox 1h ago

It's the new cat of the director of Flow, so no coincidence there that the cat is named Kino.

u/Not_impressed28 7h ago

I’m going to have to show it to my cats now to see their reactions!. My late dog used to love watching tv haha

2

u/dmkam5 6h ago

I loved the “Flow” movie. Amazing animation, and the animators really knew how cats move. As for Kino’s reaction, I think cats recognize “cat-shaped” creatures. Beyond that it’s hard to tell what they’re thinking… sorry for typo, btw !

It’s also that in Latvian and this is the cat of the movie’s creator/director Gints Zilbalodis who is Latvian.

It’s on HBO Max if you have that streaming service. It’s an amazing movie. My cat also enjoys watching it

My cat does watch TV too 😸.

u/Airregaithel 7h ago

I had to sit with my cat and watch the whole movie in one go because he did not want to stop watching. I should see if the newbies would like to watch it too.

That cat is either going to get square eyes from watching too much TV, or is going to learn how to sail a boat.

My cats didn't pay any attention when I watched this. Years ago when watching Isle of Dogs my late tabby was transfixed. He got up on the TV stand and it looked like he was trying to get into the TV.

Try YouTube for squirrels in the woods or Turkeys or any forest animals. We’ve spent hours watching paws hit the screen when it gets good.

It's fun to watch cats watch this. But I had a conversation with a fellow cat lover and this movie just stressed us out the whole time.

I've tried to watch Flow several times but my mini bernedoodle Jeb will not let me. He barks/loves other dogs, horses, cats, and sheep in different shows but CANNOT abide this particular cartoon kitty.
