Big Louie in The Princess Diaries.

There was also a cat in the old Disney movie "Return to Witch Mountain" about two kids with some special powers. Don't remember much about that though...

Back in the day when I was ittle and the Disney Channel was cool and had a lot of nature programs and good kid type movies, there was a movie I always loved called The Cat from Outer Space. The cat was an Abyssinian named Jake. It was about a cat alien who landed on earth and had to repair his ship to get back home.

OMG I LOVED that movie! It was right up there with That Darn Cat! I could have watched on a constant loop those two, The Horse in a Grey Flannel Suit and The Ugly Dachsound (was that the name of it, can't remember, but it was the one about the guy who tried to bring home a Great Dane disguised as a dachshound puppy).

Whats that film with the cat (Sassie?) and the two dogs, a retreiver and boxer.

They get separated from their owners and have to find their way back across country to the city ? Cant remember what it is called

Cat's Eye was a great movie. It was based on the idea that a cat will try to steal your breath while you sleep.

Orion from MIB "The galexy is on Orion's belt"
I believe there was a cat in The Crow too
Then there's the dejavue black cat from the Matrix

I forget whether it's one or two, but in one scene, Marlon Brando has a cat in his lap as he holds court in his office

I know what you're talking about but I can't think of it either!

A similar movie is The Adventures of Milo and Otis!

It's called Homeword Bound: The Incredible Journey, it was a Golden Retreiver named Shadow, an American Bulldog named Chance and a Himalayan named Sassy. They are left in the temporary care of a friend who lives hundreds of miles away but escape and come back home.

LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie!!!

There's a cat in the new Bewitched movie (starring Nicole Kidman) and a possessed cat in Scary Movie 2 (Mr Kitters or something like that). Also, there's Oliver in Oliver & Company (Disney cartoon) and plenty of cats in Catwoman!

Spot, Data's cat, appeared in two or three of the NextGen movies, it was the first non-animated cat I thought of.

How about Salem, from Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch? There was pilot movie.

There is a 1964 movie called "The Three Lives of Thomasina" I watched it as a kid on the Wonderful World of Disney. It is about a cat named Thomasina. A cat who brings a family together, through her mysterious death and reappearance. It is pretty good.

There's an unnamed orange tabby in Once You Kiss A Stranger. I won't be suprised if no one has heard of this film. It stars Carol Lynley and is a reworking of Strangers on a Train with a female protagonist. I saw it on the Golf Channel recently (the movie has the woman having a one night stand with a pro golfer, where she promises to kill the #1 player on the tour if he offs her shrink). The cat is in a couple of scenes, one of which was to show how unhinged she is. Woman comes into a beach house and gets a glass of milk. She puts it down for a minute and the cat starts drinking. She gets angry and tries to throw the cat in the fridge, telling him "if you want milk there's plenty in there". The cat then scratches her arm and runs away, with the woman giving maniacal chase. Like I said I doubt if anyone else has seen it.

Oh yes Binx! Of course! I LOVE Hocus Pocus! When I was little I always wanted a cool cat who turned into a hansome boy hehe. No really though that is a great movie! I LOVE Bette Midler.

I was a big fan of Salem. Sure, the animatronics were cheesy, but you had to love him.
