Is this movie appropriate for cats?

Sorry for the question, but I've searched every rating agency known to man and I still can't find an answer, would this movie be appropriate for a moderately-aged cat?

Definitely not. Younger cats, maybe.

When ABC ran The Shining in 1983, the following day it was reported that something like 80,000 cats had died of fright across the US watching the Room 237 scene on TV.

Look it up. Variety ran a headline something like "Kubrick's Krazy Movie Kills Kitties!"

I don't think cats are able to really appreciate any movie. Cause they don't think like people do.

Any movie? Yeah, maybe not any movie but I bet they like a few.

Whatever. Cats are cute and lovable but the ones I have met do not watch movies.

But there are other cats, though mostly they don't know it or don't believe it.

I would say if your cat is over 18 it would enjoy this film
Also, if your cat is over 18 you are an awesome pet owner👍
