Obviously they don't have any cats or they would know who was the slave to who...

Our cats sit where they want, sleep where they want, play where they want... And if they decide that they want petted, they find a human and demand petting. They always get it. Our female cat's way of telling us she loves us is to nip our legs with her teeth. I think she is serious about the love part, but she also does seem amused.

Yeah there's some mild enslavement going on, but it isn't the cats.

I forgot to mention all three of our cats are rescues from kill shelters. So it's definitely a step up from their previous circumstances, and may have saved their lives if no one else adopted them.

My dog was nearly 20 pounds underweight when she was picked up by animal control after a hurricane after living as a street dog in Jacksonville her whole life. She gets two squares and treats, dictated by what she finds most appealing, as well as stimulation via nosework, trail walks, and puzzles. She went from being a malnourished garbage scavenger to a sheltered, well-fed, loved, clean, safe animal, with regular veterinary care, health insurance, and loving, affectionate people. I will not apologize for that. She is not a coyote or a wolf. She is a domesticated canid and she already exists. She was bred for human companionship, and I will provide her that until her last breath.

I tend to steer clear of both being that neither are typically vegan. Before going vegan though, waffles. I’ve never been a big fan of sweet foods and anytime I’ve had french toast it was just too sweet for me.

She wasn’t a fan of people she didn’t know crowding her to take pictures, and honestly I wasn’t a fan of that either. Filming the movie was easy because the crew took the time to get to know her, the red carpet was just a lot being thrown at us at once. After like 5 minutes of the red carpet thing we dipped off and found a spot to watch people lining up and watch the other cats do their thing. Once she was able to observe for awhile she warmed up to it and ended up eating treats in the middle of the carpet until I had to carry her away.

Getting more places added was riding on the success of this opening weekend and from what I’ve heard it went really well so hopefully we see more dates added soon. It will be streaming next year but I haven’t heard any info on that as far as a solid date goes

It will be at the Angelika Film Center starting on the 21st and lasting for a week. I’ll be there Friday and Saturday, I don’t know what showings they want me to show up for but I’ll probably just end up hanging out at the theater for most of the day, that’s what I did in NYC today.
