Yep, Team PSNYC ended up at Madison Square Garden this Sunday for the CFA-Iams Cat Championship: Cat Show and it was pretty fucking surreal. I've never seen so many people wearing clothing with pictures of cats or various other animals on it. We kept laughing that Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Conchords would have fit in perfectly here with his collection of animal sweaters. Anyway, the people were weird, the fashion was weirder and some of these cats were just the weirdest. The hairless! The gigantic fluffernutters! The trained cats on leashes!

And yeah, we saw a gazillion kitties that were absolutely adorable. These cats would have turned anyone into a big ol' pile of mush. Seriously, if you don't have a cat in your house, you should seriously consider it. They're low maintanence and great company. I highly recommend that you consider adopting a kitty from one of these fine places:
::BARC Shelter
::North Shore Animal League
::ASPCA
::City Critters
::Animal Haven

On a related not, this weekend I saw the movie "Year of the Dog." The film was written and directed by Mike White, who previously wrote "School of Rock," "The Good Girl," and "Nacho Libre," as well as a couple episodes of "Freaks & Geeks." The movie stars Molly Shannon and was sold as a romantic comedy about a dog lover looking for her soulmate.

It turns out that "Year of the Dog" is about a woman (Molly Shannon) whose dog dies and then loses her fucking mind and becomes a psychotic PETA activist. She tries to brainwash a toddler, kill a guy who she went on a date with so "he can know what it feels like to be hunted" and she steals money from the company she works for and donates it to crazy animal-right organizations. The film tries to portray all her acts as just and acceptable and rational. It tries to paint everyone else as crazy.

Seriously, this is the worst movie ever fucking made. It made me run out and buy leather shoes, a fur coat, a rare steak and made me throw paint on a group of hippie vegans. Never see this movie. Never...........
