Seeing how a cat has 9 lives (and is the plot of the new Puss in Boots movie), I thought it was appropriate for me to do a list of 9 cat movies. Sometimes my genius, it almost frightens me.
Now, the movies in this list were chosen regardless of their ratings and year of release. We have tried our best to search for a platform for you guys to watch on. However, most of the movies on the list are not available to watch in Malaysia. So, you could use a VPN and watch the movies on the US server or “get creative” and find “a way” to watch them.
Before we start, let me address the elephant sized cat in the room, NO! Catwoman is not on this list. Why, you ask? Because she’s not really a cat!
Now with that out of the way, let’s move on to the list, as I’m sure most of you have skipped the intro that I wrote and moved straight to the list anyway.
