00:00:03,627 --> 00:00:04,765

00:00:04,765 --> 00:00:06,566
and you're watching Animalist News.

4
00:00:06,566 --> 00:00:09,321
Back in August,
I took a trip down to Minnesota

5
00:00:09,321 --> 00:00:12,216
to check out the internet 
Cat Video Film Festival

6
00:00:12,307 --> 00:00:15,076
I get a chance to hang out 
with Lil Bub and her dude Mike

7
00:00:15,089 --> 00:00:18,194
and to talk with some of the crazy
coolest cat fans out there!

8
00:00:18,194 --> 00:00:19,373
So, let's take a look.

9
00:00:19,454 --> 00:00:20,254
Meoww!

10
00:00:20,450 --> 00:00:21,770
(Music)

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,969
Meooww!

12
00:00:29,313 --> 00:00:30,989
I'm here with Amy

13
00:00:30,989 --> 00:00:32,724
Amy, do you like cats?

14
00:00:32,922 --> 00:00:34,090
I love cats.

15
00:00:34,090 --> 00:00:36,127
I flew 2000 miles to be here

16
00:00:36,127 --> 00:00:37,814
to share all these great cat videos

17
00:00:37,816 --> 00:00:40,321
with thousands and thousands.
of my new friends.

18
00:00:40,731 --> 00:00:43,060
What do you have to say
about this whole event?

19
00:00:43,571 --> 00:00:46,488
I love the fact that Minnisoda
is the host for this.

20
00:00:46,716 --> 00:00:49,595
I am proud of my State,
so much right now.

21
00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:51,082
So I'm here with Vanessa.

22
00:00:51,082 --> 00:00:52,879
Vanessa, you have a cat tattoo

23
00:00:52,916 --> 00:00:55,640
Yes, I do have a cat tattoo on my chest.

24
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,603
And do do you call it a "cattoo"?

25
00:00:58,003 --> 00:01:01,528
Occasionally, yeah, 
on some social media websites

26
00:01:01,584 --> 00:01:03,530
I might throw out catto.

27
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:06,311
So, I thought you'd be smaller
in real life

28
00:01:07,238 --> 00:01:08,882
You are Little Bub, right?

29
00:01:08,972 --> 00:01:10,389
Hey guys, look who we found.

30
00:01:10,389 --> 00:01:12,287
we have Mike and Little Bub here.

31
00:01:12,367 --> 00:01:14,871
So, what do you guys
expect from tonight?

32
00:01:15,406 --> 00:01:17,959
Oh, I don't know, I think
Bub's going to win an award.

33
00:01:18,063 --> 00:01:22,569
I think there's going to be plenty 
of sensational cat videos.

34
00:01:22,892 --> 00:01:25,110
I think that's what people
is expecting, right?

35
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,917
Right.

36
00:01:26,116 --> 00:01:29,952
And just, you know,
it's a gathering of cat lovers,

37
00:01:30,363 --> 00:01:33,326
lots of them, I think there's like 13,000.

38
00:01:33,345 --> 00:01:34,779
Hey guys, I'm with Scott,

39
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:37,229
the producer and creator
of the Cat Video Festival.

40
00:01:37,379 --> 00:01:39,244
So, how you're doing well?

41
00:01:39,311 --> 00:01:41,113
What do you like about cats?

42
00:01:41,113 --> 00:01:43,823
There's a lot of things and I think
in the Cat Video world

43
00:01:43,823 --> 00:01:47,023
what I like about cats is I think
cats don't perform for the camera

44
00:01:47,023 --> 00:01:49,053
and that's partly
what makes them special.

45
00:01:49,053 --> 00:01:51,723
What do you want people
to take away from this Festival?

46
00:01:51,723 --> 00:01:54,739
I hope that they take away
like a sense of community from this

47
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:58,026
and it's a way of like cat culture
coming together in the real world

48
00:01:58,026 --> 00:02:00,497
which I don't think happens
as often as dog culture

49
00:02:00,497 --> 00:02:02,890
and I think through this,
we found a way to do that

50
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:05,051
and I like to say is that
it isn't about cat videos

51
00:02:05,051 --> 00:02:06,219
it's about watching cat videos together

52
00:02:06,267 --> 00:02:06,990
and that's why we're doing this.

53
00:02:06,990 --> 00:02:08,916
Things are getting crazy down here,

54
00:02:08,956 --> 00:02:10,464
it's insane.

55
00:02:12,844 --> 00:02:14,268
Meeow!

56
00:02:15,808 --> 00:02:17,400
I'm so...

57
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:23,325
We are crazy cat people.

58
00:02:23,441 --> 00:02:24,995
Look at our foods we have our foods to prove
it

59
00:02:27,764 --> 00:02:29,808
These are our cats.

60
00:02:29,882 --> 00:02:31,914
Hey, can I ask you some questions?

61
00:02:31,998 --> 00:02:32,880
[No]

62
00:02:33,696 --> 00:02:36,908
So, what do cats mean to you?

63
00:02:37,172 --> 00:02:38,893
Everything. everything

64
00:02:38,983 --> 00:02:40,867
Do you guys have a favorite cat video?

65
00:02:41,217 --> 00:02:43,454
Anything with a grumpy cat.

66
00:02:43,504 --> 00:02:45,789
I'm looking forward
to grumpy cat as well.

67
00:02:45,807 --> 00:02:49,106
She has no idea if she is famous
like any of the cats here tonight

68
00:02:49,894 --> 00:02:52,511
not at all she's completely oblivious she sleeps for most
2:53
of it and her disposition I mean she's
2:55
she's here on this stage in front of all
2:58
these people and she seems pretty
2:59
doesn't seem like she's going to do
3:01
anything particularly grumpy what's the
3:03
main message that you're trying to to
3:05
spread with all of this bub sort of like
