The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977)

When Maria (Barbara Carrera) turns up on the beach with her pet serval, it jumps free of her arms and runs off with a scarf trailing from its leash. Surely Andrew Braddock (Michael York) isn't that scary yet, but cats do tend to know things.

A tiger also makes a couple of appearances fighting various creatures on the island.

Escaping its cage at the end, a leopard attacks the creatures with somewhat disastrous results as the roof collapses.

Unfortunately, as the building burns, it looks like the lion does not survive.

The Twilight Zone: Cat and Mouse (1989)

Guillaume De Marchaux

After falling asleep reading a romance novel, lonely Andrea Moffitt (Pamela Bellwood) is awakened by a black cat coming through her window.

Andrea takes a shower but finds someone has taken her robe.

The cat is actually Guillaume De Marchaux (Page Fletcher), a suave Frenchman who can be human at night but reverts to feline form during the day due to an old curse. He is clearly impressed by what he sees in the shower.

Guillaume transforms back and forth at will, explains how he was cursed for loving a woman, and the instantly charmed Andrea allows him to stay.

They become lovers although arrogant Guillaume is very controlling, manipulative, and as fussy as a real cat.

Guillaume is angry when Andrea tries to put a collar on him since it would strangle him when he transforms. Things start to change for the worse in their relationship from this point. Ultimately, Guillaume becomes bored with Andrea, and tom cats will be tom cats.

Guillaume is even more upset when he wakes up in a cage at the veterinarian. After cheating on her, Andrea has taken Guillaume to be fixed!

Tales from the Crypt: Dig That Cat... He's Real Gone (1989)

The part of an alley cat's brain which gives it nine lives is surgically implanted into a vagrant named Ulric (Joe Pantoliano) as an experiment.

Having become a sideshow act, Ulric has hallucinations of another cat when he dies on stage.

It's too late for Ulric when he remembers back to the day of the surgery.

No matter how grateful he is to the cat, miscounting the number of lives that he had left can only lead to one thing.

The tale ends with a black cat visiting Ulric's now permanent grave.

The Crypt Keeper (Jon Kassir) strokes the same black cat briefly before gleefully yelling at it to scat.

The Munsters: Bats of a Feather (1965)

When Eddie (Butch Patrick) needs to take an animal to his school's Pet Fair Playground, Lily (Yvonne De Carlo) suggests the family cat.
