Some of us may be dog lovers but some of us are dedicated, cat lovers. Now if you're from the latter category and nothing can bring a smile to the face as surely as the video of a frisky little kitten, this one is for you. Dubai is having a cat-themed film festival – so this one is for all the cat lovers out there who think there are too many dog movies but not enough cat films!
This is an international venture dedicated to “Bringing the joy of cat videos to the masses and raising money for cats in need.” They go through various cat video contributions and other sources on the net to collate the best and screen them.

There will be several cat-themed films shown as well as a 70-minute compilation of the best cat videos. The idea is to provide cat lovers with a community setting within which to enjoy the screening.
