The Cat Who Walked by Herself (Russian: Ко́шка, кото́рая гуля́ла сама́ по себе́; tr.:Koshka, kotoraya gulyala sama po sebe) is a 1988 Soviet animated feature film directed by Ideya Garanina and made at the Soyuzmultfilm studio. It is based on Rudyard Kipling's short story, The Cat that Walked by Himself. Like the earlier Soviet animated feature Maugli, the film retains the dark, primal tone of Kipling's work.

[edit] Plot
The film is largely based on the short story, but goes off on many digressions.
Two parents put their child in his crib for the night and leave the room. The child starts crying, and the Cat comes into the room to keep him company. The child grabs her tail, and the Cat angrily reminds him that they agreed a thousand years ago that he would not do that. Upon seeing that the child doesn't remember, the Cat sighs and decides to tell him the story from the beginning.
