Thankful Thursday: The New York Cat Film Festival

On Tuesday, September 10, my friend BG and I attended The New York Cat Film Festival at the Main Art Theatre in Royal Oak, Michigan.  Portions of the proceeds were donated to The Ferndale Cat Shelter and The Catfe Lounge.

For a tad over two hours, we watched the following short films:

The Pet Effect: prescription for happiness is cats!
Little Works of Art: The man behind the American Museum of The Housecat and Catman2 Rescue
Art’s Automotive: animated robot who finds a kitten
The kitten from "Art's Automotive"
Akamatsu the Cat: Disabled cat with a devoted human
Akamatsu, sadly, was hit by a car
Pure Fluff: Who will give spa treatments to cat who are hard to handle?
Winter Break: A school teacher waxes on her down-time with her kitty
Guardians of Recoleta: A cemetery in Buenos Aires with feral cats
Scaredy, the Cat: A New York City tennis club adopted her to chase away the rats
Marnie: The Cat Guru: Existential musings
"Marnie"
Cat Nation: A Film About Japan’s Crazy Cat Culture: Yep, Japan is cat crazy!
Nitama, the station master at Kishi Station
Japanese company that allows employees to bring their cats to work daily
Instagram Cat Mom: Over-the-top people who will do almost anything for likes
Samantha and the Rock Cats: traveling cat show, that many of you already know about
Mittens from Kittens: Romance from knitting shed cat hair
Beth Is Not a Cat: She isn't, and neither is her fella, but they both love their cat.
Although this kitty would like Beth to be a cat...she isn't!

I snapped these few photos during the evening, and it was a grand time!  Whomever put this festival together, tried to keep things equal: silly versus serious, the amount of cat women and cat men, how hard it is to rescue cats...and do all of them need rescuing?

Am thankful that I found out about the event, and very glad that I went. Check out the website; you may be able to see the festival showing near you soon!

Let's Hop!
