Cats! We’ve been worshipping them for thousands of years, so is our current world wide obsession with any any surprise? Bask in their Derp-tastic expressions while they roar (actually just a meow) Shake (from an ear cleaning, or just from rubbing their ears, we had a pro animal care tech on set) and lick (cream cheese, anyone?) their way into internet glory.
SHAKE CATS is the newest book in the series SHAKE by video director and producer Carli Davidson. If you are fans of the video, there is a very good chance you will enjoy the book as well. Check it out on the link below and please consider supporting these fun projects. A portion of advance proceeds go to animal charities.
Score: Sleep “Dragonaut“ Sleep Music/Merch
Label: Earache Records
*No cats were harmed during the making of this film. We love animals. Cat shakes were in some (not all) cases achieved with an ear cleaning with cat ear cleaner (Epi-Otic) performed by a certified animal care technician. They also all received nail trims, yummy treats, and lots of purrr inducing love. Many cats needed the ear cleaning pretty badly, especially the cats in rescue that had spent time living outdoors. Please reach out to carlidavidson@ directly if you have any questions or concerns about the animal’s rolls and we will get back to you asap. Thanks in advance!
