It’s a Cat’s Life

This 1940s Frith Films educational short, narrated by George Barclay, follows the quaint lives of cats Fluffy and Tommy and their newborn kittens, alongside Fluffy’s sister Muffy and her older litter with Calico. Shot in color by Emily Benton Frith, it captures kids playing with the cats but raises eyebrows with scenes of kittens left in the sun—prompting Fluffy to move them to shade. A vintage peek at feline family life, it’s both charming and a touch careless.
