3.0 out of 5 stars a nice little excursion into the world of cats, March 27, 2003

This is a short playful documentary delving into the relationship of ordinary cats with their people. There are several cute snippets of different people talking about and showing off their cats. The cats featured are most often regular house cats rescued from the ASPCA, though one woman keeps an ocelot (which frankly didn't seem too happy with her).

People looking for a serious documentary of cat history, animal psychology, or cat breeds should look elsewhere...this is mostly an indulgence. The truly smitten cat lover will enjoy the film as brief entertainment, though, and I especially recommend it for viewing by families, for it is certainly funny.

A comment made by the late Roger Caras (former head of the ASPCA) near the beginning of the video sums up the mood of the film pretty well: "Owning a cat is like an American tourist eating in a fancy restaurant in Paris.... you're going to be overcharged, you're going to insulted... but somehow to *you* it is worth it." And to me, it was.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Cast! Not quite the Stage Show!, December 21, 1998

I've always enjoyed the London production over Broadway! So book your ticket for London, now that you've had the teaser.

A little of the magic was lost when they re-worked things to include video-magic, instead of stage-magic. And trying to cut-down a big stage event into an image that fits on the little box.

A great reminder after seeing the live show. And a good warm-up before going to see it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical video. I loved it., December 9, 1998

If you've seen CATS on Broadway, this video will bring back the memories and give you a whole new perspective. If you've never seen CATS on Broadway, you'll be mesmorized by this video and you'll be booking your flight to NYC while the credits roll.
