Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: Danny Mitchell (Ted Donaldson) has his parents worried when he befriends an unorthodox older gentleman named Dr. Francis Xavier Fay (Aubrey Mather).
Cat Cattle Call: Danny’s parents end up inviting Dr. Fay to dinner with the hopes of showing Danny that the man is uncoath. Dr. Fay shows up via the back door bringing with him some freshly caught trout. As he enters their yard, he quickly closes the gate behind him as we hear meowing. Dr. Fay motions for something to shoo and then we see numerous cats outside the gate as they scatter.
After dinner Dr. Fay leaves by the back door and this time he brings a rolled up newspaper. As he exits the gate he opens the paper and sets it down on the ground, sharing the leftover fish with the cats.
Final Mewsings: Cats appreciate people who are kind.
