    One of the weirdest things I've ever seen

    I really need to track down a copy of this production. I only caught the last ten minutes at about 4am on tv in the mid-1990s, but what I saw in that 10 minutes has made me pine for a copy since then. There were all these stray cats in an abandoned building and Lorne Greene is narrating an anthropomorphic tale of what each cat is supposedly experiencing, which is mostly a cat orgy in some kind of condemned building, then all the sudden a wrecking ball smashes through the wall and the cats go crazy.

    Wonderful and timeless

    I saw this movie on television when I was 7 years old. I remembered bits and pieces of it, and finally obtained a copy in 2014. It is absolutely wonderful, and will appeal to all ages for years to come. Lorne Green is the perfect narrator, and the segments are both informative, entertaining, and educational. This film probably contains the only surviving actual video footage of Room 8. Even though the segments are 40-50 years old at the present time, they are still relevant today.There are a couple of sad parts in the show, but if you can get past them cat lovers and non-cat lovers will enjoy it greatly, plus, the theme song rocks! I wish it was released on commercial DVD.
