D’you know, I think this argument has legs. (Four, at least.) He certainly has heard me bemoaning Kohli’s frequent lapses in on-field decency, almost inevitably in the same tone of voice in which I entreat him to Get Off The Bloody Dining Table. I can confirm, moreover, that recently he tried to eat a red (commemorative Kent CCC) cricket ball, so it seems at least that he understands that the longer form is ultimately more satisfying.

Interested to know the extent to which they all hold for the wider feline community as well.

Having surmised Kohli to be naught but a foul-mouthed nincompoop, he has summarily rejected him favouring the warm sun instead.

May I add an hypothesis, by noting that the television set in the indifference picture is so high above the feline eye-line that it is possible that viewing on that occasion was a physical impossibility for Sir David Cattenborough. Contrast with the near perfect positioning of appropriate seating and the television set in the second picture.

I do like your first and third hypothesis, which are not mutually exclusive from each other, nor in either case from my hypothesis.
