For those who love cats, there are few things better than relaxing in front of the TV, perhaps in the company of your feline or other fans, and enjoying a movie dedicated to them. There is something for all tastes: documentaries, comedies, detective films, animated films and more. So let's see together which are the best movies about cats (or with cats) in circulation.

The Aristocats

Let's start immediately with a Disney classic, which many of you will surely already know. Set in Paris in 1910, Gli Aristocatti features the cat Duchess and her 3 puppies Bizet, Matisse and Minou; they belong to a rich pensioner, who loves them so much that she names them heirs of her immense patrimony. But the woman's butler, the second beneficiary of the will, kidnaps them and abandons them to automatically be entitled to the inheritance. You will therefore follow the adventures of this family of kittens, who will do everything to find their way home.
