This show is on PBS. It was an Inspector Morse mystery.
Unfortunately, I don't know which episode, but it was in the show
about Morse, also. Morse and Lewis were driving, and there was a song
from some opera on. Lewis said he thought it was Cats, and that his
wife liked Cats.
__________Lewis: I don't know why, she's allergic to them.
__________Morse: Would you shut up about bloody Cats?!
__________Thanks, Kalliroscope!

The episode where the movie they're showing is Cave Dwellers. One of
the first shots of the movie is of the cave dwellers. There's a

meat. Tom Servo says,"Hey, it's the cast party for Cats.
It's Betty Buckley and she's eating Dick van Patton!" Thanks,
Rachel!

The movie was "Werewolf," and at the very end, they show a lady
walking into the werewolf's room. The pair hugs, and Tom Servo says,
"Okay, movie, we know, she's a werewolf too!" But then she turns

cast of Cats!" Thanks, Jemima Mistoffelees!

I don't know how accurate this is because I didn't see it for myself,
but my friend Whitney told me about this. Ned's best friend (played
by the guy who plays Richard Fish on Ally McBeal now) is a huge Cats
fan, and they mention it all the time. This show was canceled a few
years ago but it still can be seen on Lifetime every day in
the morning, I think (thanks, Andrea!).

Ken Page [Old Deutoronemy] does the voice of Oggie Boogie (the bad '

Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin run into this guy who asks if he can

together (thanks, Teazer Kitten!).

This ws on a Welsh speaking channel, and there was a Welsh soap opera

started going to New York to see that kitty litter play . . ."
(thanks, Evaearlong!).

She was auditioning for her school musical and the director was
wearing a shirt with the musical RATS on it. I know this is an actual
musical so I don't know if it was to make fun of CATS or if it was
really supposed to be RATS (thanks, CHRBroadway!).
_____
They did a segment called "Trivial Purrsuit" and the question
was, "What is the longest running musical on Broadway?" Before they
went to a commercial break, the host said something on the lines
of, "This should be fresh in your 'Memory'!" They showed a clip
of "Mr. Mistoffelees" (at West End, I'm not sure, it was really fuzzy
and far away from the stage, but the only person I could see was '
Jacob Brent!). Thanks, Zoe!
_____
Brain was trying to take over the world by writing a musical in the
style of Andrew Lloyd Webber (only they used a slightly different
name!). With Pinky's help, they came up with an obvious parody of
Cats: "MICE". The logo was the word "MICE" scrawled across a
black background with Pinky's ridiculous blue eyes on it. The songs
were parodies of Cats songs, the most obvious being the one on
"Memory," where there was this old, decrepid looking mouse singing a
melody similar to "Memory." There were plenty of people in doofy
white mouse suits, too (thanks, Coricopat!)
_____
The host says at the beginning, "The funniest animal show since the
musical Cats." Thanks, Kari!
_____
On the VH1 show Pop Up Video, they were showing a video called "Bad
Boys" by The Miami Sound Machine. There were people dressed as cats,
almost like in the Broadway show, and it kept popping up diffrent
facts about the Broadway show, about when it started, etc. As it
turns out, no one involved in the making of the video had even seen
Cats. Amazing (thanks, Sam!)!

I saw this on VH1, and this guy was describing this musical called
Roadies: the Musical. He said, "It's just like Cats

Tigger (thanks, Cat!).

auctioned off on eBay, autographed by Marlene herself (thanks, Jason!).
