“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” -Mahatma Gandhi. This phrase emerges in the beginning of the film Dancing Cat. This saying strongly conveys the director’s love for abandoned animals. Dancing Cat is a documentary about the relationship between two men and many stray cats. The movie’s message is simply that we should love and look after abandoned animals. Our nation tragically has a high number of homeless animals. I agreed with the stereotype abandoned animals have. I thought they were just useless and harmful, which is an idea that is shared by most Koreans. However, the film shows people loving and looking after these homeless animals. It stressed our need to care for them. This film helped eliminate stereotypes towards abandoned animals and gave me the courage to want to warmly approach them. I hope that this documentary can change our nation’s negative thoughts on abandoned animals.

Cats! What about cats? That was the first question that flashed through my mind as I settled down in my seat to watch the movie. My answer was this: They are the little creatures with big glowing eyes with pointed ears, they sneak around at night and they stay away from human activity. many people have negative views on stray cats that are mostly false. After watching Dancing Cat, this is because by seeing this movie, I found that stray cats are actually very cute, adorable and friendly creatures. I learned that their wariness of people disappeared once they get to know us. I was surprised at how well two totally different species could get along with each other so well. All this time, I thought that animals befriending humans was not possible. I didn’t believe people when they said that their pets were their best friends.  even though there are a lot of cats wandering around in my neighborhood, I have never given any thought to befriend them. All the cats in my neighborhood just seem to avoid humans. However, after watching this movie, I began to think that maybe if we approach them first, they might turn out to be very good friends, like in Dancing Cat. Now, I have a different opinion on cats that live in the streets: These cute little creatures with big shining eyes can be wonderful friends to humans.
