CATS. That's it. That's the topic.

CatVideoFest, established in 2019, compiles the best of the best—from viral cat videos to short films and more. It screens this weekend at the Little Theatre.

Join guest host Scott Pukos as he talks with the director of CatVideoFest and local cat adoption experts.
