Behind the Scenes of The Richest Cat in the World Among the long list of cat actors who made their mark on the big (or even small) screen, a special place must be held for the talented flame-point Siamese thespian named Palmer who starred in The Disney Sunday Movie: The Richest Cat in the World. […]
There is a special place in the hearts of movie lovers and cat fanciers alike for the Disney films which feature cats. True they are not as numerous as Disney dog pictures, but there are several. And among them The Cat From Outer Space rates pretty high; maybe not for its plot or kooky special […]
Or, to be more specific, how a cat named Reggie played a cat named Goose, who used to be called Chewie and is actually a Flerken, stole the film Captain Marvel. But let’s start at the beginning, which would be the Marvel comic books. In the original Captain Marvel comics (NOT to be confused with […]
Behind the Scenes of The Shadow of the Cat Movies with Featured Felines are obviously some of our favorites. We love it when cats get more screen time (although to be honest, even the most cat-centric film usually only includes so many minutes of actual cat-on-screen time).
