Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Roddy Berwick (Ivor Novello) takes the blame for an indiscretion and is expelled from public school, shunned by his father and goes downhill from there.

Kitty Cameo: In one scene Roddy returns to his apartment. A black cat follows him up the dark stairs.

Inside the apartment, Roddy opens a letter he has received. He looks down to see the black cat sleeping at his feet.

After reading some good news, Roddy takes off his hat and throws it to the ground, startling the cat who runs away.

Final Mewsings: Cats prefer less dramatic reactions to good news.
