OK but report back.

The movie is so sweet! It's a silent film, made in the 1940's, and
it's about a momcat, a dadcat, and their five adorable kittens! It's
a very close family. The parents cuddle and wash each other, and the
tom plays with the kittens and babysits them.


I watched it this morning. Wow. Bigtime kitten fever. It really is a great
little movie. The camera work and editing is TERRIFIC. I love when she is
moving them and He is watching in fascination. Or the first time he sees
them. Or when He teaches them to climb the scratching post. What a great
little film. I find myself looking at my cats and thinking "you were wobbly
little things once!"

They touched my heart - but then, cats always do that!

It's the life of a cat family -- mom, dad and 5 little kittens. It's B&W and
there's no sound but it's oh so touching. You get to see the kittens being
born and watch them grow and learn from mom and dad up to the age of about 3
weeks or so. VERY cute... and sure to invoke a case of kitten fever.

I'm sure you'll love it....


As Tak says, the acting is superb! I loved it when the Papa cat climbs
up on the scratching post and the babies try to follow and he looks down
like he saying: Atta boy, son! You can do it!

Really nice video. I'm saving it.

how about when momma keeps "nagging" the kittens not to go very far when
they are learning to walk. I can't get over how well they did filming and
editing this. It's really a mini masterpiece.
