"Private Life of a Cat" on Google Video
"Alexander Hammid's intimate study of a female cat and the birth and maturation of her five kittens." Produced by Alexander Hammid and Maya Deren, 1947. Video in public domain available at Archive.org. ** luckycee posted this and it is just so awesome that I have to re-post it. It's 22 minutes (with no sound - this is important to know, as I kept turning up the volume on my computer like an idiot) and worth watching.

I got worried when the dad cat came in... I thought he might hurt the babies! But he was so loving and sweet. I wish my family cats were half as loving and normal as these.

Daddy Cat reminded me of General, when we first brought Misty home. She was TEEENY-tiny, and at first, he did kind of box her ears a bit. But then a few days later, I saw them lying together asleep in a box, and I knew it would be OK. I think if he was able to be a daddy now, he'd probably be a very good one. :-)

I thought the same thing! And sorry I forgot to warn you about the no-sound thing.
