Catvideofest 2019

The internet often feels like it was invented simply to supply gobs of adorable cat videos to the masses. Hours and hours of footage of cats jumping at the sight of cucumbers or sitting sprawled out like a human have brought endless joy to a world where so much has gone wrong. Today at 11 a.m., CatVideoFest comes to the Cedar Lee Theater in Cleveland Heights, bringing the biggest (furry) internet sensations to the big screen. CatVideoFest, which roams around the country helping to raise money for cats in need while partnering up with local charities, features a 70-minute compilation of the latest and greatest family-friendly cat videos. A portion of the proceeds for the Cleveland iteration goes to the House of Mews Rescue (a no-kill cat shelter). A second showing takes place at 4 p.m. tomorrow. Tickets cost $12.50. (Laura Morrison)
