How exciting! John Fulton, the host for “Must Love Cats”, attended a birthday party in New York City at the Algonquin hotel for a 15 year old cat named Matilda.
It is also a party where you would see a cat dressed as a fruit basket and hear John Fulton, the host of the upcoming Animal Planet series “Must Love Cats,” singing a song he wrote about Matilda with such lyrics as “You’re 15 years young and your time’s just begun.” (Mr. Fulton has written about 34 songs about cats, including “Klepto Kitty,” about a cat that steals things, and the even more self-explanatory “Working Kitties of New York.”)

The LA Times:
… David Pogue serves as our scientific tour guide as he explores the most remarkable advances in material science: from bacteria that can produce gasoline out of thin air and seat cushions made out of soy bean oil to germ-repelling “shark skin” that could be coming to a hospital near you.

Our award-winning PBS documentary “A Girl’s Life” is being shown as part of ITVS Women’s Empowerment Summer Film series this August.
There has never been a better time to shine a light on stories of women affecting change around the world. The evidence is clear — when women and girls are provided with opportunities for education and jobs, access to health care services, and are a vital voice in governance, we can make great strides in addressing serious social issues such as poverty, violence, and political corruption.
