Newsday Tuesday – Cats in the Movies

Something to look forward to: CATS the musical is scheduled for release as a movie December 20, 2019. Can’t wait. Did you see the play? Spectacular. Plan ahead and give the best Christmas gift ever to your cat-lovin’ friends—tickets to the show. You might want to plan an event for the showing next December—a cat-themed luncheon with friends before or after the show, wear your favorite kitty-cat garb, serve cat-shaped sandwiches and a litter box cake. Ever had a litter box cake? It’s hard to take that first bite because it looks just like your un-cleaned litter box. But it tastes good.

There have been many movies with cats and several staring cats. I wonder how many cat doubles they need in order to complete the scenes when using real cats. I’ve noticed, and maybe you have, too, that even some thirty-second commercials use more than one cat. Ever watch the one where the Himalayan (or is it a Ragdoll?) waits until his owner leaves, then whips through the house leaving fur everywhere? When the man gets home, he grabs his duster and cleans the blinds, some sort of glass thing, and the floor to get all the fur up. Watch. Doesn’t it look like the cat changes its looks a little in the middle of this commercial?

Can you imagine the Klepto Cat Mysteries as movies? I wonder how many cats they’d have to use in order to film Rags’s role. Something to ponder.
