It's Reigning Cats and Dogs is a musical roast to benefit the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center, Friends of the Animal Center Foundation, and the Johnson County Humane Society.

The musical extravaganza, directed by June Braverman, features local entertainers as well as friends, neighbors, and family members whose starring roles include those of cats and dogs. The group performs parodies of popular songs that have been rewritten to feature lyrics about animals and their owners, such as 'Super Cat A Fragalistic' and 'Don't Crate Me In.' Performances also represent the Young Footliters, Best Buddies of Iowa City High School, Gospel Explosion Church, The Quire, Iowa City Comedy Troupe, Keep on Dancing, Iowa City Hospice, and Combined Efforts.
