Nov 15: Coming Soon: Here, Kitty, Kitty

Prolefeed Studios recently completed post-production on its latest feature documentary, "Here, Kitty, Kitty". "Here, Kitty, Kitty" marks the directorial debut of Andy Beversdorf, who last made his mark as Associate Producer for "War is Sell."

Ecologist Stan Temple tracks the elusive felis catus.

In 2005, the state of Wisconsin became the laughing stock of the nation as it debated a proposal to legalize the shooting of cats. "Here, Kitty,Kitty" scratches beneath the media blitz to reveal a surprisingly nuanced tale involving ruthless cat-lovers, unapologetic cat-drowners, slandered scientists, death threats, and deposed politicians. Watch and find out who is left standing when all the hissing and clawing subsides.

Look for "Here, Kitty, Kitty" at a film festival near you over the next few months. Prolefeed Studios will be hosting a free sneak preview of "Here Kitty Kitty" at Escape Java Joint at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 13, 2007. We're looking for audience feedback before we take "Here, Kitty, Kitty" on the festival circuit. Hope to see you there!

I agree with Mr Mather above.
If the feral cats are not controled by leaps and bounds, we will continue to loose our ground nesting birds. Meadowlarks are supposed to be here and have a value to nature, the feral cats do not.

The moniker "crazy cat lady" has a lot of truth to it. A lot of cat lovers are crazy to the extent that they don't understand that "feral" cats are not pets, rather vicious predators harming the ecosystem.

Ever wonder why Austrailia is doing orginized hunts for feral cats ? They are a non native invasive species .Here is a link to a feral cat study .

Haven't seen the movie so I can't comment on that but as to feral cats I can. As a Nuisance Wildlife Control officer it is my opinion that feral cats should be controlled by any and all means to include legal open seasons and year round trapping.
Our native wildlife which is currently facing massive loss of habitat due to urban sprawl often times faces a double whammy as so called cat lovers bring and release these small non native predators into the enviroment.
In the course of my work I find it amazing that so many of these so called cat lovers can be so callous as to the fate of these feral cats and their impact on the eviroment. From feline distemper, which can davastate not only the ferals themselves but also our native bobcats and raccoons, to roundworms and other intestinal parasites (passed in fecal matter) which pose a threat to our well fed non feral cat populations but threaten human health as well.
Cats can and do bring alot of pleasure and joy to our lives as long as they remain in the place we provide for them. Cats, like most other species, when out of the natural place are a menace and must be dealt with as such.

Been dealing with feral cats for years. But unlike the other comments. I do TNR now the colony I manage is down to 6 cats. TNR and Trap and Remove is neither flawless and I know that fed cats do hunt but I would rather see few managed well fed neutered cats around then have countless starving breeding felines that need to kill constantly to live and feed their off spring.
