    The cat appears to be well-fed. Note how healthy it looks. I love its color. Well, cats also love to view TV, taking its leisure time out for a little entertainment. :lol: I wonder what exactly is on its mind. If only it could talk. We will never know. :lol:

      Beautiful picture which I love viewing. :lol: It makes me smile. It is well-worth passing on. I reiterate that this cat is beautiful, well-bred/ groomed, well-fed and is healthy.
      The person who gave this thumbs down, it is obvious that you do not like cats. Too bad for you. What do you like and love?
      The cat was listening to Oprah and her audience, the latter which is not shown in the picture at the time it was taken. I do believe it was also mesmerized by the movement of Oprah’s fingers, probably wishing it could jump and touch or play with her fingers. :lol: Those who look closely should realize that. Cats love movements and will pounce on them.
      It is a great picture to keep and enlarge. It makes for an excellent conversational piece. I consider that Oprah would also love this picture.

    It is a lovely, well-groomed cat. This is a fascinating picture, a cat mesmerized by Oprah or is it her voice? :lol: I hope a copy of this is sent to Oprah. She will be tickled by it and may show it to her viewers who, in turn, will also be amused.

    The cat is watching up in the roof…

    So I take that to mean the cat is maybe saying in its mind out of desperation – “But what trouble is dis? Dem people leave the TV on Oprah and not on the Animal Planet”….
