Andrew Lloyd Webber hated the movie “Cats” so much that he bought an emotional support dog

Andrew Lloyd Webber believed that the Cats the film adaptation was “all wrong,” he said Variety in a profile published on Wednesday. “There was no real understanding of why the music worked. I saw it and I just thought, ‘Oh, my God, no,’ ”he said. “It was the first time in 70 years on this planet that I went out and bought a dog. So the only good thing that comes out is my little Havanese puppy. He later listed the dog as an emotional support animal, he said. An airline then asked him if a mental health professional had ordered such a thing, he said. “The airline responded and said, ‘Can you prove you really need him?’ And I said ‘Yeah, just watch what Hollywood did to my musical Cats. ‘ Then the approval came back with a note saying, “No doctor’s report is required,” he joked.
