Castle Films
Synopsis: An educational film in which various film clips are shown to demonstrate a word starting with each letter of the alphabet.
Featured Felines: The word for C is cat, of course, but what’s weird is the footage shown is of cats dressed in various outfits. A grey cat named Princess Mickey (owned by Joseph Olano of New York City) is the one who shows up in the most outfits.
The narrator explains: “C is for cat, cute little cat, the cutest little kittens ever seen; A cat can wear a funny hat, a cat can dress up like a little queen. There’s Tom cats and Sally cats, pussy cats and alley cats, with silky tails and nice soft paws, there’s even a cat like Santa Claus.”
This short film was famously roasted on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Final Mewsings: If cats could read and write they would sue the people who dress them in clothes.
