I suspect this an adaptation of a short story by Edgar Allen Poe in which a man kills a kitten and its mother takes revenge - can't quite recall the name

To AgProv — the story you're thinking of is "The Squaw", by Bram Stoker (I recognize it because I read it recently in a short anthology). It's not a match for the description that Bergamot gave though, since the cat in "The Squaw" stays a cat until the end. (Unfortunately, I don't recognize the story they're asking about.)

Until next time...

Found the name of this one from another source. The book is Ophelia by Florence Stevenson, and it's actually a pastiche of Gothic novels, so it's this weird on purpose.
