'Catblock' stars Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Dave Franco as a couple about to score. Dave's cat obviously has a problem because the night went from good to very bad. The [educational film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-friend-max-hate) has the witty subtitle of 'The Ultimate Co%kblock' to inform the viewer of the dangers of [having a cat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onlycat).

Although the cat in 'Catblock' is a very special cat, do not let Catblock happen to you! If you have a cat, do the dirty at the pet-less partner's home. Better safe than sorry!
