Micro Post: Walk the "Catwalk" to the Delightful Movie You Didn't Know You Needed

Hey there!

I'd love to share a sweet little movie I love that you might love too!

It is:


This absolutely freaking precious documentary, released in 2018, is the most charming thing I've seen in a while.  It features:

--Ridiculous-looking cats and their ridiculous-looking grooming regimens.


--Also really beautiful and cute cats.

--Interviews with some of the deeply wholesome, good-natured people who raise, show, breed, and judge aforementioned cats.

--Canada.

Spoiler alert: This movie is distinctly lacking in genuine drama.  Instead, it revels in gently self-deprecating self-awareness, showcased through goofy music reminiscent of "Napoleon Dynamite" (2004) and little animated sequences demonstrating the relative standings of the featured cats as they make the rounds of the titular cat show circuit.  Throughout, it is clear that the people involved in these cat shows are sincerely committed to their cats yet predictably quirky in a way that is entertaining yet soothing. 

I gave the movie a 4.

So, if you're having a tough day or simply want to see a cheerful little film, try out "Catwalk: Tales from the Cat Show Circuit".  It's streamable on Netflix now!
