A behind-the-scenes view of Huston's Interrogational Cat Show.

It is in sort of a sound bite form as we bounce back and forth between best in show and best in show wannabes.

Even though this documentary is designed for people interested in feline competition it holds some insight as to what our furry companions are all about. We get lots of fascinating pictures of kitties being prepared for the show and Kitty owners being prepared for the kitties.

If you look closely you will probably see a few of your own in there.

Most people are intrigued by the front to the back of this film. However, if you start to find the owners annoying do not give up and be sure to watch the surprise ending.

Is this "SERIOUS"???

Rated excellent as a SPOOF!! This is very funny and I don't think it was really meant to be.

It's like "Best in Show", Christopher Guest's spoof on dog shows and the people who do that EXCEPT this one is about cats and cat people and cat shows AND I don't think it was meant to be a spoof but rather a documentary.

It's an hour long and I kept thinking there would be some indication somewhere that these silly people were actors but it never came. How can one talk about the fact that a cat named "Nicole Kidman" is entered in a show and interview Nicole's owner (95% of these folks are women) and follow Nicole's progress through a cat show and keep a straight face?.... or hear a woman describe her 5 bedroom house with 3 of the rooms just for her cats... or watch a woman explaining as she puts a "diaper" on one of her horny males so he won't "wee wee" all over the house and make a stink.
