Short Documentary: Guy Rescues Over 250 Cats from Trees...and One Coati

Came across this short documentary about a fantastic human, Patrick Brandt, who rescues cats from trees.

Patrick (at the time of the documentary) has returned over 250 cats that like to go places they shouldn't, until the consequences of their bad decisions strand them somewhere, safely to their stressed owners.

One day Patrick was called to get something not a cat...

If you're reading this blog?

You already know what that exception was...

A coati.




If you'd like to follow Patrick and watch the situations he has to get these cats out of?

After 10 years of searching....Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimundi has been posted to YouTube!

Way back in January of 2012, almost ten years to the day (the orignial post was put up on January 25, 2012), I wrote a post about the film, Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimunudi.
At that time Disney had been putting metal-cased DVD sets out that featured much of the company's old television shows and specials.
As they were being released, Disney had publicly posted the contents of each of the upcoming releases in the series.
And on one of those listings was where I saw something I didn't know existed...
A film by Disney that featured coatimundi...
Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimundi.

I've spoken/emailed folks over the years who've had relatives that worked on the film and one whose father even handled the coatimundis!
Communication with a couple of folks gradually diminished and the only person I'd interacted with whose father had a copy of the film, eventually ceased and I was back at square one...
Until just a few days ago when I decided it'd been a couple years and that I should give the search another try.
I search the title on YouTube knowing I'd probably be let down...
And I wasn't.
In fact when the search results came back? My I covered my open-mouthed reaction with my hand and my eyes went wide...
There it was posted online for everyone to watch the antics of a coati in a Disney film (Encanto also features coatimundis with some pretty accurate gremlin-like behavior)...
I promise this won't be one of those recipe posts where I discuss mt g-ma's cabin by the lake for twelve paragraphs...

Here it is...after 10 years of on-and-off looking...
Disney's Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimundi
Enjoy!

(I'll be writing a longer post about this film and the search for it later in a few weeks)
