The Cat Came Back

The Cat Came Back is a 1988 animated short film directed by Cordell Barker, based on the novelty song The Cat Came Back written by Harry S. Miller in 1893. It portrays the story of a cat who shows up at the door of one Mr. Johnson, who makes increasingly desperate and comical attempts to rid himself of the feline. The cartoon made Cartoon Network's list of the 100 Greatest Cartoons of All Time. A high quality version was finally uploaded to YouTube in 2015 by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).
