Fun With Felines

Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek were in town recently to promote their new animated feature Puss In Boots, which hit theaters Oct. 28. Attending a round table discussion with the stars at the Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key, I wanted to make my one and only question count. I chose the most philosophical question I could think of. I wanted to know—as their respective characters—what their preferred kitty litter was, and why.

Banderas: “It has to be a very special sand from the beaches of Miami. This is a stormy town and every year hurricanes come and clean the sand. [Puss] needs something very clean and so that’s what he does.”

Hayek: “I prefer velvet, that’s why they took my claws away.”
