''The Office' for Cat Lovers': Ricky Gervais’s new adult animated cat TV show is about to hit Netflix, following a group of feral cats and their shenanigans as they seek friendship, and we're seated

We've been asking for more cat-centered mainstream content, and here it is. 

For as long as we've lived, we have been asking for more cat content from Hollywood. Because there's so much potential. We write about cats every day, and we know, for a fact, that there is so much you can do with cats in media. There are countless movies about dogs and other animals, but for some reason, cats have not gotten the spotlight they deserve in mainstream media. 

People try, they always do. They know that there is a whole cat community to capitalize on online. And we know that too. For this reason, we are suspicious of every cat-related project that comes out. We don't want to support it just because it's about cats. That's why the musical Cats, which came out all the way back in 2019, flopped so hard. And the game Little Kitty, Big City didn't blow up. And why other cat projects haven't really taken off. 

There's a new one that came out just this week, CatchCat, which is like Pokémon Go but for cats. We're hoping it will take off, because it looks cute, but it's up to the cat community to decide if it's up to our standard. The last cat-centered project that really did amazing with the general public was the video game, Stray. It was amazing. But that came out all the way back in 2022. It's time for something new in this genre, and Ricky Gervais might be onto something. 

Ricky Gervais is a man who people either love or hate, we know this, but one thing that cannot be disputed about him is that he does incredible work for animals. He's an advocate, he works with charities, and he has his own cat - Pickle - who stars on his Twitter page all the time. He's a legit cat person. And that gives us hope. His new show, 'Alley Cats', is going to hit Netflix on August 7th, and we don't know about you guys, but we're seated.
