Review Mar 14, 2005
WHEN CATS ACT
by Michael Bergeron
Did you hear about the cat that shot its owner? (Some guy left a loaded gun on the shelf that the kitty knocked over.) Or maybe the guy in Wisconsin who wants their state Senate to make it legal to gun down stray cats ­ it must be something in the cheese. The former story sounds like the cat did it on purpose. Quite frankly the cat probably had good reason. Like the owner wanted to make the tabby wear Soft Paws (www.softpaws.com), which are vinyl nail caps invented by a vet so he could have more crap to sell pet owners.

Regardless, cats are news just for being themselves, and when they appear in films they are infectiously cute if not cunningly feline.

Everybody loves the Alamo Drafthouse. Downtown or North, watch general movies, weird movies, free movies, drive-inn movies, movies in a cave, Mr. Sinus Theater all while enjoying eats and drinks. Get a bucket of Pearl or Shiner with your pesto pizza - what an idea!
