lol, that is actually pretty true to life! Somehow I always find my coat being utilized as the cat's makeshift bed, and forget about getting it back!
Aaaah, this is so good!! I can really see this as like one of those animated shorts before movies for Pixar or something!!!
That is fabulous! The cutest animated short ever made!
I loved it. The cat kicks some serious ass.
Great animation! The cat reminds me so much of toothless the dragon!
i have only one thing to say.....actually i have a lot to say starting with how much i love it. The animation itself was done very well and was put together quite nicely, I've seen a lot of animations and yours is one of the best I've seen. I love the whole story line. It's funny how the cat always triumphs over the guy. (i'm still wondering how the cat got out of the closet) All in all a good show, one of my favorites, and I'm looking forward to more of your animations.
Thumbs up and good juck
I love how the Welhelm scream was incorporated.
My husband and I always laugh when we hear it!! It's like a running joke with the sound guys or something in my opinion
This is great stuff man! And having cat videos on youtube is a great idea lol!
You are a great artist, I'm glad you have the means to express and share your passion.
I love it! The animation of the cat is adorable c: the legs are so stocky and the stylization is perfect!
Lol that was cute and funny. I love how u did the cats expressions and the ending was really good.
That was adorable! I love the facial expressions the cat made. =3
This was adorable, and I enjoyed that the cat never got a "comeuppance" (because they are after all in charge), I do wonder if the action could've been contrasted with a bit more affection and/or playfulness between the two, rather than an all-out antagonistic relationship, but I'm being nit-picky, and I did really enjoy it! =]
That is so cute! I love that cat, I have 4 at the moment, I used to have 17. I know how cats are! LOL, this is a super cute animation! ^-^
i like the slapstick comedy in this! the ending was funny too, and the animation works quite well!
This was brilliant. Great animation work and I loved the end.
The part with the cat appearing from above made me go spider cat, spider cat :P
Omg....lol I loved it so much I taped it for my fav cat clips I have. I have over 100 now and that one went right to top ten!!!!!!
haha never fails to make me smile every time i watch it
bravo, jorge!
ROFL. This is awesome. I bit my cats would do this if they could. They seem to love sleeping on my jumper. Though in winter i really need that jumper. LOL
Beautiful Work all around.
Love that you did go for the realistic approuch and give the cat hair (particle effect). Kept it clean and simple. Thus keeping the focus on the actions/expressions instead of the effect.
Never mess with a cat. Lesson learned.
waw man, congratulations
that was very very very good
great posings, lovely design of the characters, great simple yet appealing backgrounds,
great simple clear storytelling, nice pace
hats off
congrats
1:23 is such the MONEY SHOT!!!! Hahah sooo funny!!! I watched without sound and i still awesome!
lollololololololol! That was great. That deserves some type of award (I'm not sure which). Great music too! I love it!
You do not mess with a nice kitty cat! Especially when he declared your hat his home.
Jay, this is absolutely amazing, thanks for giving me a good laugh at the end; anyone who has-loves-hates cats will adore this exquisite piece because we all know that cats rule. Please keep this character, he's lovable, for future animation endeavor(s) and yes, his cat, too. Yes, they fight, but one cannot live without the other. And, contrary to an earlier comment, please do not get seduced in working for Pixar, I beg you to retain your total artistic freedom and expression...and the profits
@ramdav Hola! Desde pre-produccion hasta el final dure mas o menos. 10 meses? Fue medio semestre para realizar la historia, etc, y alrededor de 7 meses para modelar..animar..etc :)
Gracias!
Very interesting video. Nice direction, script, music and last but not the least nice animation.
Good job guys.
Lol.. Owned by a cat! GO CAT!!! I LOVE CATS!!!
awesome!!! such good animation. I love when the cat jumps on the shelf!!!
;)
Wow. That was amazing. Totally reminds me of my cat, minus the hanging upside down part. =)
Hah! Actually an old version of the story had said girlfriend arriving at the end! :) You comment made my day! Maybe one day I'll develop this story more!
nice rigs! the animations were crisp and clean and I enjoyed the simple style!
increible amigo, pero me surgen dos dudas, de que pais eres?, y donde estudiaste?
This kind of humour has been already exploited to the point of exhaustion by Pixar. I had not even smiled when I was watching this.
amazing character/facial animation and cute story, good job man
Nice video! I would like you to make more! How long did it take you?
Very good animation! Fantastic job with an original storyline.
1:22 - 1:24 After that, cat acheived the ULTIMATE PWNAGE. XD LOL
@JayJayJay83 Can you please tell me what program you used? This is real good. I wanna make one.
u guys make me want to go to this college lol is it all autodesk or just drawing??
Hahaha very cute. Also, the animation is amazing. The rendering was also good. Will you make more?
Our pets, my cat, they bring us such great joy!! Love it
Wow nice, you are one of the new Ringling grads this year. Where are you these days? I'm from class 06
Does whatever a spider cat can! :D

The cat it's just like Scourge the cat. Just the colour of his eyes are blue, but here it's green. Btw nice animated :)
Hahaha the ol' spray bottle trick. Very cute!

i had cats like that.. ok, not that bad, but they do take revenge if you scare them for fun :P
Great Film!
I am doing sound for this, in a project for music!

Oh my gosh! 0:40 is the cutest thing ever!

Man good job! That was really funny and great to watch
that was amazingly hilarious and very well done
Poor kitty just wanted a bed..💖🐾
LOL! I understand you so well, Jorge... My cat is exactly like that one! :) Exactly...
how do you draw 3D characters on computer?!?!?!?!?
omg this is a great short! i literally LOLed :]
@UncleT0uchy Yes he did. He said "Jorge Garcia helped me to make "Cat's Meow", an animation." So yes he did claim this as his own work with the help of Jay. So YOU read it before you post.
this was fantastic, what grade did you receive for this
What software did you use to create this? maya?
cool!! what software do you use?
This is so cute and so true! Good job! *like*
Waw, that was hilarious!! So true, cats do rule after all.
Cat would look better with whiskers. But still great :)
I mean that's the most territorial cat I've ever seen
two words for that cat anger management
@UncleT0uchy Lol so because his name is in the special thanks gives him the right to say Jorge helped him to make it?
the cat looks like a pokemon ;) great video
Do you play Chaos Faction 2?
@elisha2020 I didn't do this film. I just happen to see your comment and no one's answering so I gave it a shot. I'm a 3D animator though. Every film starts with concepts so concept artists draw the character designs for you. 3D modelers 'sculpt' the character in the computer based from the drawings. 'Riggers' will put joints and controls to the character model and animators will animate it. It's divided to different specializations (Character artist, Modeler, Rigger, Animator, Compositor)
That's an evil smart little cute kitty. XD Awesome video!
@TikiTikiOverdose but did you draw these people
once I saw the cat with the hose I was all like oh this cat is good :3
what media did u use?
I used Maya 2008 for mostly everything and Shake for some compositing. :] The water from the hose was animated traditionally on paper and composited on top.
Whoa cool! :D Thanks a lot! Mind if I ask which school it was! I feel honored! :]
@jamesbond942 Could you send me the link to it? Thanks! :}:} I appreciate it!
Ja ja ja wooooww... this vid is AWESOME !!
Love it. Brilliant!
That's one determined kitty! XD Lol!
I just loveeee it!!!!
This is why my cutting table gets covered before my cats can claim any fabric thereon.
did u draw these people?!?!
Why thank you! I am glad you enjoyed! :]
Spectacular animation!
The ending was epic!
why is there never any dialogue in animated short films...
0:35 is that a noise from the Grow games?
Chuck Norris was known only to have one animal companion. It was this animal, this Cat, that he taught the ways of awesomery.
Goes to show that the cats are actually the boss of us.
did my cat audition for the part..well done...
Priceless video!
seriously awesome! loved the characters and the fight!
The cat climbs on the ceiling, stuffs a full grown man into a cat cage, teleports multiple times, and you wonder how it can spary a bottle because it doesn't have opposable thumbs? *sigh*
really amazing animation i lik the animation of the cat
Keep it up!!!!
3ds max ????????
Love the cat! Reminds me of mine, spoiled rotten, intent on getting his way....
