    Chicago news: Purrfect! Couple’s short wins $10,000 cat fest prize

    “French CATastrophe,” a film by Chicago-based husband and wife team Michael Gabriele and Alana Grelyak, snagged the prestigious “Golden Litter Scoop” award at the 2015 Catdance Film Festival in Park City last week.

    Clawing over hundreds of submissions to earn the $10,000 check that comes with the honor, the four-minute short stars an unusually vocal grey striped puss named “Rocky” as a French foreign exchange student who arrives in Chicago with something other than education on his mind.
    .
    .
    Founded by Fresh Step litter in 2013, Catdance is part of the company’s “Million Meow Mission,” a program to help homeless cats.
