Not many films out there about cats, are there?

There have been several other TV families with pet cats; foremost of these is the origional 1960s series "The Munsters", which featured the occasional appearance of a black cat which seemed to be Grandpa's pet. (Well, it was more or less Grandpa's pet - he was the one who was always picking it up and stroking it!) This sweet-looking kitty, who roared like a lion instead of meowed, was featured in the series' pilot.
Other television shows of the 1960s and 70s which featured at least one on-screen appearance of a pet cat included:
"Batman": After Catwoman apparently fell to her death at the end of the episode "Better Luck Next Time", Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson adopted her pet long-haired black cat and brought it back to Wayne Manor; the episode ended with Aunt Harriet complaining that the cat had stolen a lobster that was meant for dinner. Also, the villainess Marsha, Queen of Diamonds owned a pet marmalade cat named Circe.
"The Addams Family": At the beginning of the episode in which the children's beloved Grandma Frump - played by Margaret Hamilton in a very obvious resurrection of Elmira Gulch! - comes to visit in honor of her birthday, she's carrying a sack that she's about to present to Wednesday and Pugsley. The contents: a rabid pet cat. Her comment: "Well, I had to bring them SOMETHING!"
"The Brady Bunch": Another marmalade, belonging to the girls; after the first episode. it simply vanished from the script and was never mentioned again!
"The Patty Duke Show": In one episode, Patty hides a stray kitten in her room; it's ultimately discovered (of course), and the Lane family finally decides to keep it. I'm not sure whether this kitten made a subsequent appearance on the show.
Also, don't forget Data's loyal marmalade, Spot, on "Star Trek: The Next Generation", and Sabrina's Salem on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch". Plus, Ellie Mae owned at least one unnamed cat among her legion of critters on "The Beverly Hillbillies". And then there was "The Flintstones"' Baby Puss; "Looney Tunes"' Sylvester actually belonged to Granny, the sweet(and hard-hitting) old lady who was the owner of Tweety Bird...and, on "Davey and Goliath", Davey's sister Sally acquired a kitten over the course of a suspense-filled two-parter!

Kevin Hooks and J'anette Dubois (Willona on Good Times and the singer of the Jeffersons' theme) starred in JT. You can find copies of this on www.ioffer.com from time to time.

Other cat movies I can think of include Cats and Dogs and Sleepwalkers

I always loved a movie called "ffolkes". Roger Moore loved his cat more than people. He received a basket of kittens in the end as a reward for his service.

He,he! As usual wikipedia has a page on the very subject. I was looking at dog films v cat films as subject matter after watching an episode of "The League of Gentlemen". Google for "Dougal Siepp's Cat Theatre" (it was actually live cat theatre v dog films to be truthful)
The wikipedia page is obviously incomplete for there is no mention of "the three lives...."

Enjoy it while it lasts

Actually, there is a Siamese cat in the Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy and the Wizard are getting ready to leave in the balloon, the cat meows and Toto barks and jumps out of the balloon. Dorothy gets out to get Toto and the balloon takes off.

But yes, most of the movies mentioned are not featuring cats. They may simply have a cat somewhere in a scene.

since your including animated movies and TV series there is "Kiki's Delivery Service" and the old Saturday morning cartoons "Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse" and "Top Cat"

Nobody remembers "Rhubarb" the 1951 movie about a cat that inherits a baseball team? Did I mention It's about to be released on DVD? (Jul 1 according to Amazon.com) The cat in Rhubarb is also a yellow tabby.

Now there is a great movie about a ginger cat, "A Streetcat Named Bob" True story about a real cat, with Bob playing himself, as a younger cat.

from russia with love: blofeld's white persian cat (apparently blofeld's cat appears in other bond films)

the day after tomorrow: jason robards' character has a cat

the hunchback of notre dams (1939 version): frollo's many cats

bolt: the black female cat

catwoman (with halle berry): sadly enough, this was a cgi cat (lazy people)!

the great muppet caper: there's a muppet cat in the happiness hotel

breakfast at tiffany's: holly golightly's signature cat (don't know if this was mentioned before)

the march of the wooden soldiers: cat & the fiddle

one missed call: meagan good's cat, who unfortunately "gets it" in the beginning

meet the parents and meet the fockers: robert de niro's cat

national lampoon's christmas vacation: aunt bethany's cat

can't think of any others off the top of my head right now, but i know what the op is saying -- that cats might make appearances in many films, but there aren't many films at all out there that are actually ABOUT cats. i love cats and i understand - so many darned dog movies!! i love dogs and all but enough is enough..i think there really do need to be more movies FEATURING cats. i mean, i have seriously been thinking how great it would be for "hotel for cats" to be made as a sequel to hotel for dogs!

For me at least, that's not the same at all. I want to see cats and kittens in films. There are many about the big cats, but... Sorry, but that's not the same for me or anywhere near it. *sigh*

Meanwhile, I've been watching Mean Little Kitty aka Mean Kitty videos on YouTube, plus lots of "talking" cats. Maybe these people should get together and make kitty cat movies!
