I got a thing from my orthodontist yesterday in the mail about my
first trip and such. In the "About Children's Orthodontics" brochure,
on the back there is a picture of a girl in Cats makeup and a
Cats wig, looks like Etcetera (thanks, JemimaKitty!).
______
In an ad for the Broadway production, You're a Good Man, Charlie
Brown, it has all the different things critics have said about
it, and a logo of Snoopy that is saying, "Move over Cats!!!"
Thanks, Sam!

In the Ball State University brochure, there is a picture of students
putting on a production of Cats. It says, "Ball State's

They have a little animation that shows the logos of several Broadway
shows. Of *course*, Cats is one of 'em (thanks, Ozzie!)!

My friend Tiffany (who I call Ed) and I were in line for the Raptor
(the best ride ever!). Anyhoo, there were two people who didn't
even know eachother were wearing Cats t-shirts. Ed freaked
out (don't ask). Thanks, GermnMisto!
______
Inside the little booklet of my Chicago CD, they tell the history of
the show. Here's what it says: "Though that original production ran
for an extremely respectable 898 performances, it had the misfotune
to open the same year as A Chorus Line, which was to become the
longest-ever running show (at least until Cats eclipsed it). Thanks,
Fleckenfell!
______
In this comic strip, Fergus (the dog) was making a time capsule.
Fluffy (the cat) came up and asked if he could put a cat artifact in
the capsule. Fergus said no, and Fluffy whipped out a box with the
Cats eyes on it and said "But what better way to preserve the
precious MEMORY" (that part was in bold) "of the feline spirit in the
twentieth century than with my 10th anniversary special collectors
edition box set of the smash-hit Broadway musical Cats ... on
DVD?" Then he starts singing Memory in big letters, and Fergus says,
"All right, all right!" Thanks, Kalliroscope!
______
At school my principal wore this dress that had a night time view of
NYC at the bottom. It had a building and on it, it said Cats
(thanks, Kari!).
______
There was a picture of some students across the street from the
Winter Garden Theatre. You could see it in the background (thanks,
Jen!)!
______
A lady who looks like Bebe Neuwirth when she was in Chicago
starts singing "I Got Rhythm". Then all these people come out
dancing, and all of the sudden two Cats come out from
left/right! The one on the right was Misto, I don't know who the left
one was! Then at the end (it was one of those Visa commericals, you
can't buy a Tony ticket using American Express), Misto's pops up
holding a Visa card with the cutest look on his face (thanks,
Casio!)!
______
There is a Barbarbra Walters commercial out, and in the beginning,
she's singing for a audition. When the director says that she can leave, Barbarbra says "Wait! I can do 'Cats'!" and starts pawing the
air (thanks, Zoe!).
______
I took an English test on the book we just finished reading, The
Crucible. One of the questions was, "Who wrote the Crucible?"
Among the choices was Andrew Lloyd Webber (thanks, Trina/Skitty!)!
______
In this computer game, a shoot-'em-up, naughty game where you go
around L.A., etc. when you go down in the subway there's posters for
stuff on the walls and one of them is for Cats only it says something
else on it, since it's a parody (thanks, Masked Rose!).
______
This is from a computer game. You play a detective who investigates
various crimes around England. In the first case you do, about a
statue of an Egyptian cat goddess that has been stolen, at the scene
of the the crime a note is found that says "Macavity wasn't here!" So
you go to Scotland Yard and talk to one of the investigators, who
suggests that you go to the library and look up "Old Possum's Book of
Practical Cats" by T.S. Eliot. Then he adds that it was the book that
inspired the popular musical "Cats." You do get to read the Macavity
poem (or Demeter's solo anyway). The criminal Macavity appears in
almost all of your cases, always with the line, "Macavity wasn't
here." And when you do unmask him, Macavity is actually a couple, man
and wife! When you see them, they're holding masks made to look like
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer! Thanks, Jemima Mistoffelees!
______
There was an article about "The Sound Of Music". In the article it
said, "Thirty-five years, one Cold War and an entire run of 'Cats'
after Julie Andrews' Maria first charmed seven children, a navy
captain and the world . . ." Thanks, Ozzie!
______
In a class I take, we performed a parody of Cats called
Frogs. It had most of the songs with slight modifications to
the lyrics, and some of the characters names had been altered (i.e.
Grizabella the Glamour Cat to Frizzabella the Glamour Frog).
It was a good play and the only song that wasn't altered was "Memory"
(thanks, Grizzabella!).
______
View the below listed Cats sighting
here
(thanks, Sam!) found from
Comics.com.
______
The Sunday newspaper comic "Grand Avenue" by Steve Breen had a
Cats refrence. The date of this particular one was September
12, 1999. It shows the kid in his room, which has all sorts of
theater posters all around it, one of which is a Cats poster.
The other one you can see on that date was a Les Miserables poster
(the kid's hair also poofs out similar to a Cats wig, but I
don't think that counts). Thanks, Fleetpaw!
______
The boy was standing on a cardboard box on his front lawn, with a
sign propped up that read, "Cats: 25 cents." He had put a bunch of
stuffed cats on the box, and he was wearing a cat costume and had his
face painted up, and coming out of his mouth was a broken musical
note, no lyrics (thanks, Jemima Mistoffelees!).
