It seems like that cat had impecible taste in films.
You should have got her to curate an event. :)

I love that Anthology are putting on a cat memorial!
Stories like this make me think better of the human
race at a time when my belief in things are at a low
ebb. I would never have guessed that Anthology had a
feline amongst their number. I think being able to
care about and feel a connection with animals is a
wonderful thing.

I also just love the idea of an event of cat films. I
thought for a second how wonderful it would be to put
on such an event, just for the hell of it but then was
torn that it seems a slightly trivial thing to do when
there is so much more serious issues, so I was much
amused and delighted to hear about the black Panthers
turning up at Pola's event!

  You definitely have some cool cats over there. :)

love

Freya
