This reminded me of the "cat herding" commercial.

Wonder how she manages the fleas? I can barely afford flea treatment for one cat!

That is awesome! I wonder how much money it takes a month to do that?
 
Yowzers! I've never seen so many felines in the same place!

I have a friend who'd be perfect for running such a sanctuary. One of her present kitties has a 3-chambered heart, and the other has diabetes and requires daily insulin... and she fully admits she'll be one of those old crazy ladies with fifty cats. Fortunately, however, she loves cleaning. So it could be like this one: clean and fresh, with all the cats being chill - none of the cats are fighting!
 
That can't be cheap. I'd like to have something like that on a smaller scale.
She was lucky to have all that land out near Fresno.
 
Thats a lot of critters! I saw about 30 that I want to adopt, but I've been told no.
 
I loved the cat laying on it's back with one leg up in the air.
 
I loved the cat standing up on hind legs trying to rub faces with the dog.

I was just watching that again. He goes for the head butt, and then the tail hook across the dog's nose.
 
I really like that Talking Heads song (This Must Be the Place) in the video, too.

"Home - is where I want to be,
But I guess I'm already there"

Sort of a cat sun dial :)
