Ever wondered what your favourite films might look like with a feline lead? 🐱

So without further ado…

Classic Movies If The Leads Were Cats!


The Great Catsby

A wealthy, lovestruck tomcat spends his life pursuing the beautiful domestic shorthair from across the lake.

After eventually wooing her with grand offerings of dead mice and birds, he is killed – but it doesn’t matter because he has 8 more lives left over.

The Clawshank Redemption

A tabby is wrongfully taken into an animal shelter, where he befriends fellow inmate Red-paw.

Instead of plotting an elaborate escape, the two are pretty happy indoors with regular meals and yard time. The idea of tunnelling out seems exhausting so they decide to take a nap instead.
