Is it just all about HORNY cats?


So the plot or lack of it is horny cats that want to fuck? Their tails are all twitchy and they're all looking at each as if they're in heat.

What other kind of cat is there? :)

No. I will assume you are serious. The musical comes from the stories and poems of T.S.Elliot collected in Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

The various vignettes are varied and cover many different topics; rambunctiousness, the theater, magic, thievery, old age, and many others.

In the musical a framing story is set up regarding the cats being judged to earn ascension to the heavyside layer and have a new life.

Off the top of my head I don't recall any deeply involved in love and none with an overt sexual connotation.

And, having had many cats (twenty living and passed), they twitch their tales for many different reasons.

the critics seem to think it's about horny cats

I have no trust in critics. They are often stupefied by their own self-determined "brilliance." I haven't seen the film yet, though I have seen the stage musical. I'll make my own determination when I see the film. However, the story as arranged for the stage is as I have described it.

That pretty much proves it is not about horny cats then.
