Gente de gatos

...because I am a HUGE cat lover. I volunteer at 2 different cat shelters, I have helped many a stray, and am always the one there to help a cat in need!

But...

I feel like this doc focused on the "looney" side of cat lovers. The stereotypical "crazy cat" fans. Cat ears everyday? Nope. Cat raps and songs? Nope. Take your cat everywhere and - everywhere??? Nope. Is that a niche (thing)? Yeah..it is. But I feel like this series really dealt with people who were all hurt or broken...and the cats gave them a purpose. I had hoped to see just a reg ass person who likes cats...just one. Oh well...happy to see so many people just love them and are kind to them.

I love everything about cats and when I saw it on Netflix I started to watch immediately. Some episodes made me cry a little because I have 2 cats and I really understand the feelings of cat owners. This is a special bound. I don't know why but only I didn't like last episode, everything was so fake in there. I don't know why I felt like that but I liked other episodes more. Especially I loved syros island! I wanna live there forever!

I loved everything about this series. It is well made, entertaining and just delightful. The people featured obviously love their pets and I smiled the whole way through!!

Just what I needed to take my mind off the darn pandemic!

I had to stop five minutes in. Watching someone talk about how much they love cats while showing off their scottish fold, a breed of cat that lives in constant pain due to its characteristic ears (which is why they are so 'calm'), was just deeply upsetting. If you truly love cats, you'll research what breeds are healthy and which aren't. The last thing we need is for more people to desire this unhealthy breed and encourage breeders to perpetuate this damaging gene.

Honestly all the episodes were great except the last. It seemed like they understood a true appreciation for cats and people who love them and they supported cat rescue. But then the last episode derailed everything with a non-interesting Southern California couple who support cat breeding, seemingly unaware that breeders are the cause of the millions of animals in shelters each year, many of which are euthanized. What a terrible final episode to close the show with.
