The brief moment of it being up at least finally gave me a chance to watch it. While I don't think it's the most cringeworthy thing I have seen, I feel like it says a lot about Derek himself. Just like Sonichu gives you a small look into Chris' brain, so does Cool Cat give you that for Derek.
I wouldn't even be surprised, if he was trying to advertise what a good dad he'd be, because look at how famous he is and how good he takes care of his "son" Cool Cat and how splendidly he treats his "wife"!
But I also noticed how he tried his best to "act normal" when acting around Cool Cat and Momma Cat. When getting Cool Cat from any place, he repeats himself several times. "Go on in Cool Cat. Momma Cat's waiting. Go on in." or even at the hollywood part where they get into the car, he makes comments to every flaw of the scene, in an attempt to make it feel more natural. "It was locked for safety purposes." or "Watch your tail buddy!" Everything Derek does in this movie is just extremely awkward.
Even Cool Cat, a guy in a huge, wierd Fursuit who forgets his lines and comes over as a creepy pedo has a better actor behind him, who genuinely seems to be trying to go along with what Derek is telling him to do. (Thought this kind of goes for any actor in Cool Cat. Only exception is backwards walking man. He's just plain talented.)
