First, a confession: I am allergic to cats. They make my throat itch (ironically, as if I had a hairball) and my skin break out into hives. But the idea of doing a holiday etiquette video with felines was just too great a temptation. The pun ‘etti-cat’ was just too good to pass up. So on a recent grey day in New York, I trekked it to Brooklyn to film this video with Rightway (the one with spots) and Cutie Patootie (the one with those big baby blues). Turns out holiday-themed videos with adorable four-legged creatures can be an emotional journey. While I started trying to promote the cause of the Classy Cat (and yes, that’s a reference to my book, Very Classy), I found myself seduced by the Messy Kitty. She was just too adorable. And let’s be honest: Sometimes the Drunk Pussy can be fun. As long as it’s not you. Besides, every party needs one!
