Released in 2009, Cat Ladies is a documentary film directed by Christie Callan-Jones, running about 60 minutes. “When cats mean "meow" to you than people.” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Cat Ladies unravels the real story behind the oft-ridiculed 'cat lady' - a cultural stereotype and figure of ridicule for women of a certain age with too many furry companions. Through the intimate portrait of four unique 'cat ladies' we create a sensitive and emotionally honest portrait of women whose lives and self-worth have become intractably linked to cats. It's not the number of cats that defines someone as a 'cat lady', but rather their attachment, or non-attachment, to human beings. They create a world with their cats in which they are accepted and in control - a world where they ultimately have value.
How it landed. With an audience score of 8.0/10, Cat Ladies sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
