Stardom is not just for cats anymore, at least according to the rebranded Pet Video Festival.
Cats will share the spotlight with other pets at one of two Twin Cities video festivals
Animals and their antics will be featured at CHS Field in St. Paul. MSP Film’s fest in Minneapolis will be about finicky and funny felines.

The former Cat Video Festival will return to St. Paul’s CHS Field at 8 p.m. Aug. 2, but will include videos of guinea pigs, parrots and, yes, dogs.
Pets are not just the stars of the videos, but also welcome guests to this non-gameday event. You can bring your leashed animal friend, although they won’t be allowed on the field itself. Tickets, which are $15, can be purchased at chsfield.com or by calling 651-644-6659. Kids 10 and under are free, and doors open at 6:30 p.m.
If that doesn’t satisfy your craving for cats typing letters or plotting world domination, MSP Film has you covered. At its Main Cinema in Minneapolis, it will be showing a greatest hits of social media videos from around the country. Directed by Ingmeow Bergman, CatVideoFest2024 will screen at 1 p.m. Aug. 3 and 4. Tickets, $12, can be purchased at mspfilm.org.
Both festivals are sharing some of the proceeds with local animal charities.
The mega Marvel hit did not just bring back Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman but also quite a few familiar faces.
