What About Puss?

Posted: 02/ 2/2012 5:55 pm

When it comes to the Golden Collar Awards race, how could not only Puss, but all felines, be shut out? Cats wear collars too.

While I am thrilled that this has been a fantastic year for many talented canines in film (some of my best friends are dogs), I can't help but express my disappointment that my old friend Puss in Boots has been overlooked.

Not only did Puss bring wit, adventure, dance, and soul to the big screen last year, but he also won the heart of that saucy minx Kitty Softpaws, escaped prison, saved the town with his brother Humpty, and made his mother proud, all in one pounce. As Puss would say, his name should become legend.

Yes, the dogs have done well this year, but dogs will do anything for a sausage treat, cats do everything out of love.

Giggy may look dapper in his Beverly Hills ensembles, but he will never wear a sword like Puss does. Chunk may have won over Chelsea Handler, but Puss has the heart of thousands of ladies across the globe. And oh Uggie, he really is the cutest canine around and so very talented, two nominations... bow wow, but wasn't Puss' performance just as purrrfect too?

The fans heard your cries Mr. Scorsese (take a drink Melissa McCarthy), and I congratulate you on Blackie's belated nomination, but put her on the dance floor against Puss at the Cat Cantina and it's no contest.

Puss' sass, style and swag should not be overlooked alongside these canine creatures. They may hide them better, but cats have feelings too. Please overcome this anti-feline-ism, Hollywood, and give my dear friend the recognition he deserves. Don't make the cat angry!

Antonio,
Here, here for the cats of the world! I love the charactor of Puss! I have a large orange tiger
with the personality of "Puss".He is a foundling, (I think HE found me) and if he had a voice, I'm sure he'd sound just like you!

Title is missleading

That was cute.

Isn't this because he is not a real cat? Were there any animated characters in this? Cats ARE evil, but this seems to just be a policy issue?

The problem, Antonio, is that cats never seem to care if one makes these happy or angry. While dogs most nearly reach a region of human emotion which makes them popular pets, cats usually yawn and go their way, displaying regal unconcern even when hocking up a feather ball that was once a robin or grackle on your front doorstep.

A blatant self-promotion, followed by a threat. Felines have no shame.

Cats do NOTHING out of love, only because they feel like it!

Why so serious? ;-d

Thank you, Antonio, for a reason to smile today!

Same here. My 17 year old (Pufflinko) is watching the Super Bowl on my bed while I do homework.

I thought this story had something to do with Newt and what he does on the weekends when not on the campaign trail.
