11 cats (and a few dogs) that LOVED Dynasties’ Lion episode
David Attenborough's recent documentary was purr-fect feline viewing
From a cub in crisis to a young matriarch left to watch over a defenceless pride, and a human plot to poison the animals, the most recent episode of Dynasties was captivating viewing. And not just for humans.
Turns out that household cats were mesmerised by the stories of their larger cousins in Kenya’s Masai Mara during the recent David Attenborough documentary.

And cats weren’t the only pets entranced by the episode. Viewers also noticed that their dogs were also giving their attention to the TV.
Either they were heavily invested in how Charm, a single Lioness mother, managed to keep her cubs safe from an entire heard of buffalo, or they were just really worried to see what cats could be capable of.
The next episode is also likely to poach your pooch’s attention, with the BBC series focusing on wolves on the banks of the Zambezi river. But it might not be a happy watch for them: the show will follow two packs forced to fight over the remaining resources as humans take over their land.
Dynasties continues on Sundays at 8pm on BBC1
