* BasedOnADream: The director has said that the film was inspired by recurring nightmares that his sister had when she was young, about a cat with hands that caused people to convulse. He changed the story up a bit, but the surreal, dreamlike quality of the film is true to its origins.

Short British horror film, released in 2001. A mixture of live-action and stop-motion animation, it was written, directed, and animated by Robert Morgan.

It focuses on an old man telling his younger companion an old folk tale about a cat that has human hands in place of its front paws, and of the terrible things that the cat does.
