The Cat With Hands
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
The Cat With Hands is a short film by Robert Morgan. Released in 2001, it is the story of a cat who wishes to be human. The premise comes from a recurring nightmare that Morgan’s older sister had when she was a young child. It is a brilliantly executed tale, very much in the style of Edgar Allan Poe and features some startlingly creepy stop motion animation.

Well done find. This explains so much, like why my cat tries to gnaw off my hands at the wrist or jumps on my face when I try to sleep.

That was lovely. Think I’ll go have some sweat-drenched nightmares now.

ah yes the cat with hands, what a wonderful little candy in the dish of crud that is the internet. although ectomo is the random candy in the corner that looks like a licorice, but is in fact a button to a wonderful chest of superlative sugars… but anyway yes a bit of an old show but still quite nice and the ending really is divine.
