Internet Cat Video Festival

Movie: Internet Cat Video Festival

When: 5:30 p.m. July 20, 2016
Who With: JL, JP, VP, a coworker run-in, and adoptable kittens!
Movie Count: 43
Snacks: Popcorn, Cold Smoke for me, IPA for JL

Reaction: So much fun! This was our first time going to the local showing of the Internet Cat Video Festival. It was a blast with a sold out crowd. A ton of kids were laughing their heads off. The kind of laughter where you became addicted to the feeling of laughing and you start laughing even when things aren't funny (I'm looking at you claymationy balloon cat and purrkour cat) just to try to keep the euphoria pulsing through your brain.

One of the co-founders of Reddit had a nice video about adopting a cat and expressed an idea I hadn't really considered before. Cat videos are so The Internet because dog people bond outside and share the experience in parks and at sidewalk cafes (although not so much in Missoula anymore thanks to the City's enforcement of the health code, my sincere thanks). Cats are such an at-home experience, it's only natural to share that life online.

One cat killed a balloon version of itself, another lazily pushed a dog in a pool, one even scared off a bear through a glass door, and another almost won a slap fight against the air from a hair dryer. Loved it! Tons of fun. Highly recommend it. I also highly recommend getting yourself a cat. We went with more adulty black cats, Isby and Ivy, and they are our favorites.

Recommendation: Let’s Go! | Let it come to you  | Let it pass
Next Up: Star Trek Beyond (I actually first typed Star Wars Beyond, my insincere apologies)
