June 23-29 Cat Week: Cats! They’re earth’s funniest creatures (sorry chimps, you’re psychos).

I’m trying to answer this cat movie challenge, so I went to Tubi, where I found this movie and its description: “When Dana moves into her new apartment, she falls in love with the building’s cat, who happens to be a grown woman in a costume.”

I have to tell you, this movie is excellent, because it’s someone’s particular fantasies shot on green screen and playing on Tubi. If that doesn’t make you want to watch this, does the fact that a character directly shouts out that they are making a movie for Tubi? And if not, why are you reading this?

Scott Hillman also made The Magical Christmas Tree, a movie that is also about an elf, non-gender-specific people finding love and not as much the holidays.  This movie? It’s about Dana (Natalie Cotter) moving into a new apartment building and learning that there’s a cat person (Fawn Williams) who lives there. One day, the cat gets into her house, and she pets her, which strangely gets her obsessed with human/cat consensual BDSM play. The movie in no way judges this, which is excellent! Whatever! Is it love? Maybe! There’s also a binary person, Max Power, played by Socks Whitmore, who is never questioned for who they are; they’re a vital and essential character.

The Cat is also The Bear, a superheroine who was once Sgt. Lori Levy was given animal DNA by a government agency. She ‘s also able to speak and be charming to Dana’s mom, who is Lisa London, Rocky from Savage Beach! Somehow, all the weird comic book moments pay off by the end, too.

This has some green screen that must be seen to be believed, and sound that can barely qualify as mixed. Who cares? This is the purest film I’ve seen in a long time. Man, Cotter and Winters are really good in it. It’s a brave, raw, weird movie. I’m so glad I watched it. Don’t be one of those people put off by how all over the place it feels. Stay with it. Let it breathe.

You can watch this on Tubi.
