Cats are one of the most popular domesticated animals around and in the United Kingdom their numbers have dramatically risen over the last couple of years to around ten million. This number is viewed in two lights, for the cat lovers it’s great news but for those who don’t take kindly to them it could almost be seen as an epidemic.

Cat Wars is a BBC film that is attempting to understand both sides of the feline battle to discover what it is about cats that has such a polarising effect on people. The documentary also gets in touch with some of the more fanatical cat owners which include Silvana, who happens to have 50 cats living with her.
