I really appreciate it! She’s super stocked up on treats. There’s an older couple from CT that sends her birthday gifts and we decided to head up there to meet them being that they’ve been so sweet and following along on Instagram forever and of course they showered her with treats while we were there. Of course, thanks for the questions, I can’t believe this is something people actually wanted to talk about, I thought I would get like 2 or 3 comments.

You are far too kind! I’m not in this to gain anything, I didn’t even get paid for the movie, if you absolutely insist it would be great to donate any treat money to a charity that aligns with your values

That’s an interesting compliment and I like it. She loves anything in a puree tube, it’s the only snack she’s never refused. I actually spilled one on the red carpet while feeding her. Getting there without dying was easy, just popped her in her backpack and she went along for the ride

Thankfully the bag is a little safe space for her. She uses it when she’s tired of walking on hikes, if we’re in a place she’s unfamiliar with and hasn’t warmed up to, and now she uses it for movie premieres apparently. When she’s in the bag she’s really comfortable, it’s like being at home I guess. There is a little clip that I clip her harness to that keeps her from jumping out, I used that for this event but it wasn’t necessary

Unfortunately I don’t but I’m hoping to pick some up soon

Man, I’m not even getting paid and I’m on the poster

That’s awesome! We’ve been teaching Tora tricks but we haven’t been able to teach her the pooping on the carpet of our enemies trick yet. Maybe we’ll work on that next!

I have a cat, someone put me in a movie about it. Now I’m here talking about it, I guess, I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

It was overwhelming for both of us at first to be honest. She wasn’t a fan of people crowding her to take pictures, I wasn’t a fan of it either, I felt like I made the wrong decision at first. Thankfully she gets carried around in dog backpack so she was able to just hide from people, I didn’t have that option so I just walked away. We sat off in a little hallway and watched everything play out. There were other cats there and we watched them for a while and watched people line up for the movie, chatted with some people that didn’t know we were in the movie which was a good break from the pressure. After hanging back for a bit she warmed up and wanted to take part in it. We went back on the carpet and she ate treats in the middle of it until they wouldn’t let us stay there anymore lol

Every single time. She never has a big stretch or a big yawn without me commenting on it

Thanks! It’s been such a wild experience. I thought seeing the documentary would make it feel real but someone it feels less real now. I can’t believe it!

Yes but be prepared for the consequences… she licks everyone she meets

I’m not trucking anymore, actually. For a few years I was living in the truck working 70 hours a week, taking 3 days off every 3 months or so, it all caught up to me at once. I decided to take a break and realized how much I enjoyed doing things other than driving a truck all day. I just bought an RV so I’m still traveling I just get to do it on my own terms while exploring creative outlets I enjoy like photography

Awesome, hope to see you there! It will be streaming next year but I’d highly recommended seeing it in theaters, it was shot with the big screen in mind and it shows

I tend to steer clear of both being that neither are typically vegan. Before going vegan though, waffles. I’ve never been a big fan of sweet foods and anytime I’ve had french toast it was just too sweet for me.

She wasn’t a fan of people she didn’t know crowding her to take pictures, and honestly I wasn’t a fan of that either. Filming the movie was easy because the crew took the time to get to know her, the red carpet was just a lot being thrown at us at once. After like 5 minutes of the red carpet thing we dipped off and found a spot to watch people lining up and watch the other cats do their thing. Once she was able to observe for awhile she warmed up to it and ended up eating treats in the middle of the carpet until I had to carry her away.

Getting more places added was riding on the success of this opening weekend and from what I’ve heard it went really well so hopefully we see more dates added soon. It will be streaming next year but I haven’t heard any info on that as far as a solid date goes

It will be at the Angelika Film Center starting on the 21st and lasting for a week. I’ll be there Friday and Saturday, I don’t know what showings they want me to show up for but I’ll probably just end up hanging out at the theater for most of the day, that’s what I did in NYC today.

Absolutely, it’s just fun, I love the responses

If you don’t mind me asking, did your farm have animals and if so what was their purpose? Another question I have is would you consider having small children slavery being that you make the majority of their decisions for them or do you only support free range feral children? Just trying to figure out where you draw the line.

I have no idea! All we’ve heard so far is it will be on streaming sometime next year

I think Korn would have a much easier time answering this one. A little fun fact, the cameraman for Cat Daddies, Robert Bennett, shot a Korn concert during Covid so it was just the crew and the band which was probably a blast

You think having pets is enslavement but farms are fine? Interesting take. Tora has a really good life and by all indications enjoys what we do. Thanks for commenting though and I hope you see the film to get a better understanding of the relationships people have with their pets and how they really are part of our families.

It opens on Friday the 21st, Tora and I will be there on Friday and Saturday. I don’t know what all they’ll have us doing but we’ll probably just spend both days hanging around the theater

Do it! I’m leaving NYC tonight and driving to Dallas
