Even if you consider yourself more of a “dog person,” you can’t deny the appeal of a funny cat video. These mischievous felines get themselves into the funniest predicaments and prove over and over that cats are one of the most popular stars of YouTube. If you typically watch your cat videos alone (or with your own cat) in the confines of your home, consider venturing out and watching the funniest cat videos in the world in a comfortable movie theater with other cat enthusiasts at CatVideoFest, which is making multiple stops in Texas next month.

CatVideoFest is a carefully curated collection of 70 minutes of the Internet’s best cat videos (as well as videos submitted directly to the organization), brought to the big screen at your local movie theater. A portion of the proceeds from the CatVideoFest viewings go to local cat and animal charities, keeping the proceeds close to home, so as best to serve local animals in need.

This family-friendly event is making several stops in Texas during the month of March (Spring Break plans, anyone?). With shows in San Antonio, Katy, Lubbock, Corpus Christi, El Paso, Laredo, Dallas, Houston, and Austin, you’re sure to find a showing of CatVideoFest near you.

Perhaps it is because cat lovers tend to be more introverted, and they gravitate toward sitting at home, watching cat videos. Or maybe the appeal of funny cats is universal. Whatever the reason, cat videos are exceedingly popular with all ages, and the CatVideoFest would make for a fun family night out.
