We’ve just received word about a fun new show that will be airing in Canada Thursday on CBC-TV at 8pm: “THE NATURE OF THINGS: The Lion in Your Living Room.” (And everyone can watch the online preview.)
The Lion in Your Living Room casts new light on how our feline friends perceive the world and have adapted to ours. From the latest genetic research, to the physics of the cats’ tongue, this show travels from North America, to Europe and the Middle East to uncover new insights into this familiar, yet most mysterious animal.
These little lions are consummate carnivores that are built to hunt. But do they hunt just for fun? Are they even domestic animals, or just wild animals that can tolerate people? And when it comes to cat myths and folklore, surprisingly some of them are firmly rooted in the truth – some aren’t. With the help of Canadian cat veterinarians Koharik Arman and Kelly St. Denis, as well as biologist and author John Bradshaw, the shows answers these questions and unravel some of these longstanding mysteries.
