The kitten rocks!, 18 December 2001
Author: Beomaccer (idevinsan@yahoo.com) from Lakewood, CA

My favorite scene was the part where the tiny cat starts chomping on Trumpy's nose and wont let go. The actor tries to play it cool by moving along and ignoring it, but the cat is persistent. Everything else was wacky beyond description and the plot was looser than a wet noodle
