(Music)

00:00:03.627 --> 00:00:04.765
Hey guys, I'm Alex Farnham

00:00:04.765 --> 00:00:06.566
and you're watching Animalist News.

00:00:06.566 --> 00:00:09.321
Back in August,
I took a trip down to Minnesota

00:00:09.321 --> 00:00:12.216
to check out the internet 
Cat Video Film Festival

00:00:12.307 --> 00:00:15.076
I get a chance to hang out 
with Lil Bub and her dude Mike

00:00:15.089 --> 00:00:18.194
and to talk with some of the crazy
coolest cat fans out there!

00:00:18.194 --> 00:00:19.373
So, let's take a look.

00:00:19.454 --> 00:00:20.254
Meoww!

00:00:20.450 --> 00:00:21.770
(Music)

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:28.969
Meooww!

00:00:29.313 --> 00:00:30.989
I'm here with Amy

00:00:30.989 --> 00:00:32.724
Amy, do you like cats?

00:00:32.922 --> 00:00:34.090
I love cats.

00:00:34.090 --> 00:00:36.127
I flew 2000 miles to be here

00:00:36.127 --> 00:00:37.814
to share all these great cat videos

00:00:37.816 --> 00:00:40.321
with thousands and thousands.
of my new friends.

00:00:40.731 --> 00:00:43.060
What do you have to say
about this whole event?

00:00:43.571 --> 00:00:46.488
I love the fact that Minnisoda
is the host for this.

00:00:46.716 --> 00:00:49.595
I am proud of my State,
so much right now.

00:00:49.790 --> 00:00:51.082
So I'm here with Vanessa.

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:51.082 --> 00:00:52.879
Vanessa, you have a cat tattoo

00:00:52.916 --> 00:00:55.640
Yes, I do have a cat tattoo on my chest.

00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.603
And do do you call it a "cattoo"?

00:00:58.003 --> 00:01:01.528
Occasionally, yeah, 
on some social media websites

00:01:01.584 --> 00:01:03.530
I might throw out catto.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:06.311
So, I thought you'd be smaller
in real life

00:01:07.238 --> 00:01:08.882
You are Little Bub, right?

00:01:08.972 --> 00:01:10.389
Hey guys, look who we found.

00:01:10.389 --> 00:01:12.287
we have Mike and Little Bub here.

00:01:12.367 --> 00:01:14.871
So, what do you guys
expect from tonight?

00:01:15.406 --> 00:01:17.959
Oh, I don't know, I think
Bub's going to win an award.

00:01:18.063 --> 00:01:22.569
I think there's going to be plenty 
of sensational cat videos.

00:01:22.892 --> 00:01:25.110
I think that's what people
is expecting, right?

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:25.917
Right.

00:01:26.116 --> 00:01:29.952
And just, you know,
it's a gathering of cat lovers,

00:01:30.363 --> 00:01:33.326
lots of them, I think there's like 13,000.

00:01:33.345 --> 00:01:34.779
Hey guys, I'm with Scott,

00:01:34.789 --> 00:01:37.229
the producer and creator
of the Cat Video Festival.

00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:39.244
So, how you're doing well?

00:01:39.311 --> 00:01:41.113
What do you like about cats?

00:01:41.113 --> 00:01:43.823
There's a lot of things and I think
in the Cat Video world

00:01:43.823 --> 00:01:47.023
what I like about cats is I think
cats don't perform for the camera

00:01:47.023 --> 00:01:49.053
and that's partly
what makes them special.

00:01:49.053 --> 00:01:51.723
What do you want people
to take away from this Festival?

00:01:51.723 --> 00:01:54.739
I hope that they take away
like a sense of community from this

00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:58.026
and it's a way of like cat culture
coming together in the real world

00:01:58.026 --> 00:02:00.497
which I don't think happens
as often as dog culture

00:02:00.497 --> 00:02:02.890
and I think through this,
we found a way to do that

00:02:02.890 --> 00:02:05.051
and I like to say is that
it isn't about cat videos

00:02:05.051 --> 00:02:06.219
it's about watching cat videos together

00:02:06.267 --> 00:02:06.990
and that's why we're doing this.

00:02:06.990 --> 00:02:08.916
Things are getting crazy down here,

00:02:08.956 --> 00:02:10.464
it's insane.

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:12.844 --> 00:02:14.268
Meeow!

00:02:15.808 --> 00:02:17.400
I'm so...

00:02:21.250 --> 00:02:23.325
We are crazy cat people.

00:02:23.441 --> 00:02:24.995
Look at our foods we have our foods to prove
it

00:02:27.764 --> 00:02:29.808
These are our cats.

00:02:29.882 --> 00:02:31.914
Hey, can I ask you some questions?

00:02:31.998 --> 00:02:32.880
[No]

00:02:33.696 --> 00:02:36.908
So, what do cats mean to you?

00:02:37.172 --> 00:02:38.893
Everything. everything

00:02:38.983 --> 00:02:40.867
Do you guys have a favorite cat video?

00:02:41.217 --> 00:02:43.454
Anything with a grumpy cat.

00:02:43.504 --> 00:02:45.789
I'm looking forward
to grumpy cat as well.

00:02:45.807 --> 00:02:49.106
She has no idea if she is famous
like any of the cats here tonight

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

3:03
