The Story of the Cat

Presents an animated allegory showing how one cat's approach to his world changes from curious, exciting, spry, and in-the-thick-of-things to content, boring, fat, and alone. Observes that the other cats envy the life he leads and that children, magic, dreams, and fears are all part of his evolution. Open to many interpretations, can serve to contrast youth vs. age, adventure vs. security, mystery vs. reality, and wonder vs. understanding.
