Happy Friday, friends!
I'm still celebrating the release of new adult romance, No Promises. My heroine, Sam, works as a vet tech who also rescues feral cats on her own time. Cats play an important part in the story, especially one bossy guy named Big Boy. I've always enjoyed movies featuring animals--especially cats--and thought I'd list a few that you might enjoy, too.
Cat's
Eye
A film written by Stephen King, based on his short
stories. A stray tabby cat is a featured player in two of the stories in this
horror anthology and the hero in the third. He battles an evil gnome in order
to save young Drew Barrymore.
Harry
and Tonto
This is a road movie featuring a senior citizen and his
best friend, a cat. Art Carney plays Harry who has plenty of adventures with his
furry orange buddy, Tonto. A funny and touching film.
Stuart
Little
This movie is based on the children's book by E.B White.
The main character, Stuart, is a mouse who is adopted by a human family. Snowbell
(voiced by Nathan Lane), the white cat who already lives there, resents Stuart
and plots to get rid of his rival. (All ends happily, of course.)
Alien
Everyone remembers Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) as
the sole survivor of toothy, drool-dripping alien in the scary sci-fi
adventure. But they forget Jonesy, the orange cat who employs sneakiness and
smarts to survive and escape along with Sigourney.
Walk
on the Wild Side
This is a campy, over the top movie. One of those
it's-so-bad-it's-good guilty pleasures. Though not in the main story, a stray black
cat is featured in the beginning and end title sequences of the film. I think
the cat represents the wild and untamed side of the characters. This is one of the
well-known works of graphic designer/filmmaker Saul Bass. Here's a link if
you'd like to see it yourself:
I'm sure there are plenty of films I've missed. Can you
think of any that you've enjoyed?
No Promises:
A new adult romance by multi published author Nona Raines
writing as N. Raines
She never met a stray she didn't love…
In high school, Sam
Pennywell had a massive crush on Rick Russo. But he was her cousin’s boyfriend
and strictly off-limits. Meeting Rick again years later, she can hardly
recognize the man he’s become.
As a paramedic, Rick’s career is all about helping
others. But in the line of duty, he’s become one of the injured. He’s caught in
a dark place he can’t escape on his own. He can't make Sam any promises of
love. Promises are too easily broken.
Sam
spends her life taking care of sick and homeless animals. She's never met a
stray she didn't love, and Rick is the most important rescue she'll ever make.
