Yeah? The dog having human food. It's a skunk. Ever,
I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We're talking cat festivals this week, and I hope you
struggle to find more examples.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Of cat festivals.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh my god, there's a link in my email with
a few different cat festivals.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, but then from Coachella. But for cats, well, there's.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Also so you could find cat cellar if you wanted to.
I don't think cats would enjoy music festivals. It would
be too loud, unless all of.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
A sudden they're like wow and then scatter. Unless like
the headline it was jelly meat turn jelly meat.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
So today's cat festival is Cotton Stood, the Festival of
the Cats in Belgium.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Cotton Stood.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Okay, it's devoted to the cat been running regularly.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It happened this year May twelfth, but won't be happy
again until May and twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
A lot of festivals are doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
A lot of festivals are pulling back from being annual
to less regular. There's a parade and a giant cat
gets marched through. Each time there's a new giant cat.
I'll just load up this picture of this giant cat.
His children is dressed as cats.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
And a giant two stories tall.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, a giant cat float gets dragged through and they
celebrate the cats of the town. The background of this
cat festival is that it marches through town. One story
is that it's connected to witchcraft and the killing of
the evil spirits, and so basically the cats were throwing
(02:34):
were thrown out of a bell tower and to the
town square below to kill them.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
That's terrible, but they always land on their feet.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
On their feet, but yeah, you can land on your
feet from a huge height and just do yourself a
reversible damage. So they thought that they were associated because cats,
of course, black cats are associated with witchcraft. And another
story suggests a celebration of the cats and the throwing
of them from the belltower, because that's an undisputed fact
cats were thrown from the bell tower. Is that before
the they could make these buildings rodent proof over winter,
(03:03):
they'd let cats live in there. So the cats would
parade around these storage areas of the hall where they
stored grains and such and town reserves to eat the rats,
right yeah, and then there was wool in there as well,
and so the cats would go and keep the rats
out of the wall because the rats would go in
there to be warm and also be fed. And and then
when springtime came, they're like, what are we to do
(03:25):
with all these cats? We can't afford to feed these
cats for no the bell tower. So obviously they feel
bad about it now, oh dear, So they started that.
They started in the celebration of the cats.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
They will be like little cat outfits and stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, they proyed through town.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah, that'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Kind of drawing attention to it, to the fact that
they were throwing cats out of the bell tower.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, but why didn't they just take the cats somewhere
and bring them back in winter? Where would you take
them on some of the on some of vacation. It's
rich with rats. Candalonia, Yeah, hello.
Speaker 6 (03:59):

Speaker 6 (04:15):

it's not even close. You could go there on a cat.
You could take them to Paris from Belgium, say yeah,

Speaker 1 (04:31):

Um here, this is a film called Nine Lives by
Jesse Davidson from California, a heartwarming documentary about a cat
who has an entire neighborhood fooled, with several people believing
they are the only ones who love and look after
this cat.

A New Home for an Old Cat is the name
of another film from New Mexico, a chronicle of the
adventure of Gottland, an older feline.

Um, and here's another one called Cat in the Box,
a short animated film by a Eleveneese student filmmaker at
NYU about a cat who hears noises coming from box
and decides to investigate. So there's twenty films you can go.

One of the parts of cat Con that I really
like is they get some fire fighters in because firefighters
save cats from trees, and these firefighters are sexy, and
they get the firefighters in there to talk about saving
cats from trees and take their shirts.

Cat World Domination Day, which is the day supposedly that
your cat will come out and take.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Over the world.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Basically, all right, okay, not come out as gay. I
think all cats are a little bit gay, and they're
all pam do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
What makes you think that all cats are a little
bit gay.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
It's the way they walk right, where they clean themselves
so elegantly, and why they cross their paws.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
My cat does. He crosses his paws and we'll just
watch your TV. I'm like, maybe here's a little bit.
It's a little bit gay.

Think he might because the kidden down the hallway. My
neighbor is kidden. Female, he does, he's scared of it,
runs away. Could be gay, could be gay. We've got
a few gay cats on her hands here. So that

Yeah, a giant cat float gets dragged through and they
celebrate the cats of the town. The background of this
cat festival is that it marches through town. One story
is that it's connected to witchcraft and the killing of
the evil spirits, and so basically the cats were throwing
(02:34):
were thrown out of a bell tower and to the
town square below to kill them.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
That's terrible, but they always land on their feet.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
On their feet, but yeah, you can land on your
feet from a huge height and just do yourself a
reversible damage. So they thought that they were associated because cats,
of course, black cats are associated with witchcraft. And another
story suggests a celebration of the cats and the throwing
of them from the belltower, because that's an undisputed fact
cats were thrown from the bell tower. Is that before
the they could make these buildings rodent proof over winter,
(03:03):
they'd let cats live in there. So the cats would
parade around these storage areas of the hall where they
stored grains and such and town reserves to eat the rats,
right yeah, and then there was wool in there as well,
and so the cats would go and keep the rats
out of the wall because the rats would go in
there to be warm and also be fed. And and then
when springtime came, they're like, what are we to do
(03:25):
with all these cats? We can't afford to feed these
cats for no the bell tower. So obviously they feel
bad about it now, oh dear, So they started that.
They started in the celebration of the cats.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
They will be like little cat outfits and stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, they proyed through town.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah, that'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Kind of drawing attention to it, to the fact that
they were throwing cats out of the bell tower.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, but why didn't they just take the cats somewhere
and bring them back in winter? Where would you take
them on some of the on some of vacation. It's
rich with rats. Candalonia, Yeah, hello.

Um here, this is a film called Nine Lives by
Jesse Davidson from California, a heartwarming documentary about a cat
who has an entire neighborhood fooled, with several people believing
they are the only ones who love and look after
this cat.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Okay, this is what cats do.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
This is good.

A New Home for an Old Cat is the name
of another film from New Mexico, a chronicle of the
adventure of Gottland, an older feline.

Speaker 6 (07:45):
Um, and here's another one called Cat in the Box,
a short animated film by a Eleveneese student filmmaker at
NYU about a cat who hears noises coming from box
and decides to investigate. So there's twenty films you can go.
You can buy tickets in New York till one film

like is they get some fire fighters in because firefighters
save cats from trees, and these firefighters are sexy, and
they get the firefighters in there to talk about saving
cats from trees and take their shirts.
