The other day I was watching my one of my Monty Python Dvds specifically the Cyclist Tour episode. Apparently my cat Sassy was not impressed with Michael in this episode because every time he fell off the bicycle she ran up to the screen and slapped him!
As for me the Cycling Tour is one of my fave episodes and Michael is one of my two fave Pythons. (Gilliam is the other one, a fact that anyone who frequented the old Pythonline site a couple months ago or earlier probably guessed:) ) However Sassy's reactions were funny to watch.
Has any one else's pets had interesting reactions to Python sketches? I'd love to read about them:)
BTW: here are the links to the other parts of the Cycling Tour Sketch for those who want to see it:

a_nervous_wreck: My cat was pretty pissed at me today. Why? Because she was about to scratch my neighbor's cat's eye out, and when I tried to call her over, she goes all Crouching Tiger, Hidden Bitch and runs back just to scratch my leg, so my natural reaction was to kick her. Anyway, I was watching Life of Brian today, and when the spaceship scene came on, my cat bolts into the room, looking very unamused about the sounds the aliens were making. When I paused the TV so I could go to the bathroom, she turns to walk out, so naturally I started experimenting by pausing and unpausing the TV. Needless to say I almost didn't make it to the bathroom in time with the amount of fun I was having.
haha, good to know Im not the only one evil enough to tease the cat when she is pissed off
Yep, I'm pretty evil, but my kitty has forgiven me. She's curled up right next to right now
aaaw. :) my cat just jumped down from my bed to go and see if there is any food for her in her bowl. cats are very "live and let live", I was teasing the shit out of her only a few hors ago as well
Lvndr HppE: My dog doesn't do anything when Python is on. He doesn't react to the tv at all, but whenever my brother's dog spends time with us, and he hears another dog (either in the street or on tv) barking, he starts barking back. There's a part in "Eric Idle Exploits Monty Python" where there are barking dogs singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", so you can guess what he does when he's around and I'm watching that.
Here Comes Another One: I was watching the live Parrot Sketch on Secret Policeman's Ball, when Cleese is giving merry hell to the parrot. My cat jumped up & started pawing the screen. Whether he was going for John or the parrot, I'm not sure! I wish he'd do it again so I could get a picture, it was so funny!
arkennedy: I decided to bring this thread back into circulation in case any new members want to share any of their pet's reactions to Python sketches (or if any one else does)
Lady and Laird Candermine: my cat just blew up!
jupiterblue: I was watching the Icelandic Honey sketch thing from the 4th season and my cat flipped out when the cat on screen started making it's noises. XD
Hanri: My cat suddenly became very jumpy.... WIERD!
