Cats Producers James Cundall & Tim McFarlane were here in Manila Philippines during the fury of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng last October. They were so moved by the devastation that they decided to donate a part of the proceeds from ticket sales to Red Cross. That is until some playful cats grabbed the mock up check from Rosa Rosal. The huge cats were actors in character during the handover which amused the press.

Even host Sarah Meier of U92 was not spared from the antics of the cats. They played with her short skirt and even looked up her dress! It’s al in good fun, they are after all cats. Watch out for my pics of Lea Salonga as Grizzabella and the rest of the cast here in this blog.
