Witness The First Movie Shot Entirely By Cats

By Mark Lorenz on December 13th, 2010


It’s a miracle – a feat of nature that may never be repeated. They’ve finally taught cats the basic principles of cinema and let them loose upon the world.

It could be a good thing or an appallingly bad decision. After all, feline temperaments would probably produce better cinema than say Oliver Stone or Uwe Boll. They’re cats. All they have to do is to hit the record button and refrain from writing dialogue. It’d be endlessly compelling.

Amazingly, it wasn’t about a room decked out in Twilight merchandise. Or sad divorcees. Or dead pigeons – Purina decided that the best way to promote Friskies wasn’t by running ads on television with adorable cats. In a move that can only be described as pomo, they rigged up cats with cameras in different environments, and filmed what they were looking at. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to hear what the cats were thinking. It’s hard to trace the roots of their insanity – how they seem so proper and English but then manage to knock down Christmas trees and angrily pee on beds.

But whoever decided to rig them up with steady HD cameras was brilliant. A cat’s day is far more colorful than you or I could expect.
