Nature: Cats (documentary)

Rating:
Summary: Age isn't everything
Review: I was very disappointed with this DVD. This is an extremely OLD program that was probably filmed in the 50's or 60's and recently put on DVD. Its a basic backgrounder on domestic cats vs. wild cats and the development of the domestic cat. Not recommended.

Review: Yes, it's a bit old (1986, not the 50's or the 60's). But let's face it, how much have cats changed since 1986? This is an excellent basic documentary about domestic cats, with segments on the history of the cat-human relationship, many wild and pet cat behaviors, and how these behaviors have been modified in their lives with us. In addition it has a charming profile of a professional cat trainer (!) putting his 4-week-old novices through their paces, and then performing with the adult cats for a room full of enthralled children. This material is something you don't see very often, and puts this film in a class of its own.
I am very pleased to have this DVD. It doesn't have high definition, wide screen, or Dolby soundtrack -- but it is a clean and clear reproduction of a fine program.
