irma vep (1996)


Unknown.
Deconstruction of the film making process, set around a remake of Les Vampires, a classic French silent film. At one point a new director is appointed to the film, and we see him asleep whilst supposedly watching the original on TV, a cat meowing next to him. Well the back of its head anyway.

Batman (1966)


Catwoman (Lee Meriwether), camps it up with a coterie of kittens in attendance. Well a few disinterested black cats!

i'm a cyborg, but that's ok (2006)


Unknown.
A quirky South Korean romantic comedy set in a mental hospital. At one point a sleeping cat is startled by a mental patient, who has a compulsion to apologise for everything, even if wasn't his fault. The cat feigning nonchalance then sets about having a scratch, before being chased off by another patient. All the cat wanted to do was sleep in the sun!

a bucket of blood (1959)


Frankie.
Walter wants to be an artist, and buys some clay to try and sculpt something. Meanwhile Frankie, the landlady's cat gets itself trapped in the wallspace. In an attempt to get him out, Walter accidentally kills it.


He then comes up with the bright idea to cover this up by covering the cat in clay and pretending he sculpted it.
