We got this tape as a promotional freebie, and I probably wouldn't have thought of buying one of the DK videos otherwise, even though I and my family are great fans of the DK books. However, having seen the Cat video, I am inclined to purchase some more. While in some respects it is a lot like any animal program you might see on TV, the DK "white background" technique and computer animation makes it unique. A lot of information is crammed into the slightly over half-hour video. If you like the DK Eyewitness books you should check out the Eyewitness videos.

My daughter (age 5, and a "serious" cat lover) loved the video, and I think she learned a lot. I liked it too! I think folks of different ages will get different things out of this tape - the truly little ones will love watching and identifying the animals, bigger kids can learn a great deal of information for a school project, really big kids (i.e. adults like me!) will admire the interesting photography and special effects, and learn some new tidbits about cats.

I'm going to try the Ape video next ...

I bought this for my son when he was almost 4. Now he's almost 7. He still watches it and seems to really enjoy it. I think the fact that we have 2 cats in our household helps. He even occasionally quotes lines from it...maybe he's watched it TOO many times. I've given it 5 stars because, considering the price and the number of times by son has watched it, I have DEFINITELY gotten my money's worth.

Overall, I have been very happy with the Eyewitness series.

This video covers all types of cats. It tells you what makes them all similar, and what makes them different. It provides loads of facts and enhances that content with excellent production value. I always value a video I can watch with my children and we enjoy it together -- this fits the bill.
