We start out talking about the fabulous, gender-bending Ryan Evans doll that Lisa found for Jennifer at her local K-Mart…and end up in uncharted waters. Really, we didn’t expect to be talking about cat pee.

We also find ourselves talking about MouseFest, and D23, and Brazilian tour groups….there is something for everybody! Well, everybody who’s ready for PG-13 entertainment, and doesn’t mind some weird tangents.
OK, people, here we go – We start off fast and furious with our own Isaac Strayes and the Tabbie Cats doing their own rendition of that fabulous, funky, defining a generation movie theme – “Cats! (Right On!)”, then we visit the Poetry Corner for a little beat inspired wackiness. Then the tangents begin to fly. Witness:
Edna says: “Dahlings, I think you are a bit confused on the whole 60’s/Mod/Nehru fashion happenings, dahlings! A Nehru jacket, my feline friends, involve the collar. Beatles’ suits? NO COLLARS.”
Pal Mickey's got his rain slicker on...the weather doesn't look too good.
We recorded this show about the lousy economy a little more than a week ago…then watched with sadness as Disney announced significant layoffs, following up on the executive buyout offers a couple months back. Our thoughts go out to all those who have lost their jobs, at Disney Parks or anywhere else!
Jennifer needed a little cheering up after all this bad news, so she sat down with The Watchamacallit and reminisced a bit about their 2002 trip to Sanrio Puroland, in Tama City, Japan.

has treated the Cats to a little musical musing in the form of “Sweet Veterinarians” (apologies to Tim Curry - NOT Neil Diamond as I originally feared).
Then we’ve got more MegaMouseMeet Madness, as Lovely Sheila starts off this weeks round of questions with a whole bunch of MouseFesters! We also hear from Alice falling down down down the rabbit hole, and finish off with a song from Yehaa Bob himself!
And is Cat #2 the only one whose mind goes here when Jennifer mentions Francis the Ladybug?
Note to all – Mr. Bob Jackson was out for a bit to have back surgery and should be back (ha!) to work soon – check out his website for his schedule!

How do we start out at “Guilty Pleasures” and end up with “HSM Re-told By Someone Who’s Never Seen It?” Listen to the show, and find out!

We also take a little spin on the Monorail, enjoy a Poetry Corner courtesy of our friend Jeff, and puzzle with Trace over Pal Mickey’s apparent neurological event at our Fish Are Friends, Not Food Meet at MouseFest 2008. Enjoy!
Episode 43, We mean! Yes? Then read and listen on fellow Dizzies – and for FREE!!!!!!!
Yes, it’s Those Darn Cats episode #43, in which the Cats discuss their most treasured Disney tchotchkes, revisit the Mega Mouse Meet, listen to a musical number from Cat #2, and a little not quite politically correct vintage Jack Wagner having to do with Lisa’s fave Disneyana character…
note gnaw marks @5 o'clock
…
So, enjoy this week’s show, and let us know what YOUR prized Disneyana ephemera is? And a big thanks, as per usual, to Jeff W (stands for Wasowski), MMM attendees Theresa, Pam, Dennis and Amy, I mean Judy!
And did you doubt for a minute that Stitch travels a bit with Jennifer? Here’s some photographic evidence:
Stitch visiting the garden isle of Maui...
....and with Pal Mickey, on the TTA at MouseFest 2008
Okay, we’re at it again. Don’t listen to this one with the kids….unless you want to explain some things that maybe you don’t wanna explain. Like furries, and the cultural context in which one would ordinarily hear the word “dentata.”

If you’re looking for information about the new Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure, in a decidedly more family-friendly environment, you’ll want to check out the guest appearance by our friends Sheila and Steve on Bryan and Jonathan’s All About the Mouse episode 94.
And about that penguin Jennifer cosplayed at an Anime Convention? The photographic evidence has strangely disappeared, so instead she provides this YouTube link so you can see the penguin she’s so inordinately fond of:
Update 3/5: Check it out! Our friend Ken has sent a picture of himself with Kim and Ron:
So many vintage Mickey Mouse cartoons, so much to get worked up about! This week’s show begins Lisa and Jennifer discussing the sadistic side of Steamboat Willie, and concludes with Jennifer and The Watchamacallit musing about their experiences in London (the real one, not Epcot).

Would the early Mickey Mouse be more comfortable in New Orleans’ French Quarter than Disneyland? Here’s a picture Jennifer snapped a couple weeks ago on Bourbon Street.
Hooray for Hollywood! Of course, The Cats may be thinking of a different Sunset Boulevard then most of the folks tuning in Sunday night for the 81st Annual Oscar Awards….
We will be watching… and rooting for the sentimental favorite, WALL*E.
Ah yes, and here are just a few of the things The Cats discuss this week and/or Lisa CAN’T remember:
“..movie about nuns in Iraq…” = Persepolis (actually about a girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution – in my defense, the basic drawings are rather “nun-like” but how likely is the phrase “Irani Nun?”)
We're PG-13. Sometimes we swear. Sometimes we talk about sorta adult stuff. Don't listen to this podcast with your kids in the car, okay?
