My first cat had the name Thomasina. She was a grey calico cat. She died when i was in 5th gade i think. Honestly this movie would make me cry when i was a child because i missed my kitty. We had her when she was a kitten and i think i was 4 years old. She died because we think someone left poison outside and she ate it. It really broke my heart.
I saw this movie on a Sunday night while watching "The Wonderful World of Disney". This movie, along with "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh", is the main reasons I watched The Prisoner years later.
this film is almost always listed on ebay in dvd form or at amazon. the price reasonable. soon to be three years since you have left us Paddy, so sad......you are missed.
I have only ever seen this film once (but I'm buying it on DVD), and it was a few years ago, when I was around 10 yrs old, it was on tv really early in the morning about 7am and it was like some strange sort of message to me from God lol (and I'm in no way religious) because a week earlier my favourite cat had died and his name was Thomas, and we'd called him that because at first we thought he was a girl and then realised he was a 'Tom cat' so .. But yeah it felt to me like God's way of telling me "he's ok" haha, sounds stupid I know but.. Yea
Elle Emme Nothing stupid about it. The shamans of traditional cultures know that God/the Universe gives us subtle signs all the time. We just need to be sensitive enough to perceive and understand the signs.
You have a keen intuition Elle and your namesake itself shines bright. Be sure to embrace the Optimal Thread Model as it is yours to command. There is a Oxygen Transport Membrane in the 'Vai' of existence and also within 'AI' or Artificial Intelligence where a mighty hand such as yours scribes the Orthographic - Transcription Module as you have done here with your thoughtful and caring message. Let the annotation Tangential Velocity be your counterpart in such matters.
6 years later Chantelle. It’s not silly. There are signs. I’ve received many. Sometimes they were so unbelievable I just knew that there is something else -- invisible - all around us. Don’t ignore a sign.
Just like Thomasina only in reverse. She was to have been Thomas only she turned to be female. This book and movie are older than you, older than your cat, but yes, letting you see this movie could possibly have been a way of letting you see "he's in God's care". They all are. ❤💙💜 I'm not religious either but "His eye is on the sparrow" means something to me and that is what I answered when an older woman I knew online years ago (goodness, I think that must be before you were born too!) asked me do I think He watches over our cats. The old song/hymn that says, "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me." Someone's watching over your Thomas too, somewhere. He's okay. Thank you for your post.
One of the earliest memories I have is seeing Thomasina at the window in the rain. I couldn't have been older than 5, but I was heartbroken and that scene has always stayed with me. To this day, I cannot watch sad animal movies. I'd rather have my arm slammed in a car door.
@@reginaiam4428 I’m the same way. I saw Bambi as a kid and while I was probably too young to really understand what was happening, there is no way I would ever watch Bambi as an adult. The Thomasina movie was sad for a short while near the end, but Thomasina was brought inside, dried off, and reunited with the little girl so it had a happy ending. But yeah, I can’t watch movies where animals die. Even the animated ones. For that reason, I have never watched nor will I ever watch The Lion King.
I remember seeing this movie as a small child in the early 60's. Enjoyed it then, but had forgotten about it until I found these clips. Brought back some wonderful memories. Think I'll buy the DVD, as I have always enjoyed the clean wholesome movies such as this that Walt Disney was famous for. Also, Thomasina reminds me of a dear pet Cat I lost a few years ago, which I still miss very much.
A great family & cat film!!! We just watched our old VHS last night!
Fantastic animator & cartoonist, Ub Iwerks, was responsible for the very cool special effects. His work makes that cat heaven scene a masterpiece! Sadly, I just discovered that Matthew Garber who plays "Geordie" died in England at age 21 from hepatitis which he contracted in India. He & Karen Dotrice (Mary) also appeared together in Disney's "Mary Poppins" & "The Gnome Mobile."
Actually there is no reason/proof to say that all orange tabbies are males. My neighbors have one and she is most definitely a she since she has had kittens. In fact to be more truthful, according to most veterinarians Tortoise cats are always female, why? because the color combinations only come from the two chromosomes that make a female a female instead of a male :) and orange is usually one of the colors...
Actually, Orange Tabbies are exclusively male, which means that Thomasina is suffering from some gender identity confusion! I loved this film as a kid...
That cat looks male to me. You can tell by the shape of the face. Isn't that why they named it Thomasina though, because they didn't know its gender? It's been awhile since I've seen this.
So there's this Scottish vet right? His daughter finds a cat. They call it Tom......then they realise it's not a boy cat at all.....huh?........her dad's a VET right?........Shome Mishtake to make. Methinks he needs some Hampshire Healing....Bring It On!!
Good film... cannot stand cats myself......Had a family of tomtits in my garden a cat killed all of them.......... owners let them out at night so they crap in other people's garden
"And for the hundredth time will you not feed that cat at the table, especially with meat." "She likes meat. And there *is* a witch." Interspersing the two topics at the same time there. Perfect. And, clever child. ^___^

I want to see this, just because it has Susan Hampshire in it. Because she's the sigular most cute actress in the history of period drama. Though, I keep thinking of Patrick McGoohan being in "The Prisoner" so it'll be a little odd watcing him in a Disney film!
Oh! If you have more clips of the movie please post them! I have loved this movie ever since I was a child, my favorite scene was Thomasina entering Kitty Heaven.
Not exclusively. They are rare which would explain why a VET would think a cat to be male and his daughter named the cat Thomas. I suppose he got around to making time for his daughter's pet one day and discovered the error, hence the name Thomasina. Very rare for an orange tabby to be female but not as rare as a male calico. Male calicos DO exist but are the rarest of all . I think because they die in childbirth. But don't hold me to that. LOL
80% of orange cats are male, not 100%. One of my cat's kittens many years ago was an orange female tabby. Also, one of my clients cats was an orange tabby girl. On another interesting note, if you have a litter of orange cats of mixed gender, usually, the darker orange cats will be male, the lighter orange female.
There was this cat owner featured on "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" who trained her cat to sit at the table and eat its food using untensils. The clip's available on TH-cam. Go watch! ; )
I knew that he was a boy just by looking at his face. Generally, in my opinion, you can do more with boys. Female cats TEND to be more independent. I'm saying as a rule. Sweet boy!
A sweet film that I remember well...mostly because of the huge crush I had on Patrick McGoohan!
We'll all miss Pat ,his voice ,delivery and unique acting skills

My mother named our house cat Thomasina after this movie and we lost her to the roadway behind our house before she was 3 years old.

This was me and my sister's favorite movie as children.

Lassie was no bitch, either.
You can get the movie on TH-cam
what's the song that they play at Thomasina's funeral? isn't it like bony banks?
@Yep147 Yeah, but the movie is set in 1912. They didn't know about lactose intolerance yet. :-)
My mum doesn't like this film she finds it creepy lol. But I like it not seen it for ages!
oh dear! I saw this movie when I was 6, I hardly remember anything about it... just the cute cats
So there's this Scottish vet right? His daughter finds a cat. They call it Tom......then they realise it's not a boy cat at all.....huh?........her dad's a VET right?........Shome Mishtake to make.
Methinks he needs some Hampshire Healing....Bring It On!!

I saw this movie when i was about 6 yrs old only remember the cat in heaven scene.
Thomasina at the dinner table with a napkin around her neck and the father objecting to it are what I remember best from this film.

I suppose he got around to making time for his daughter's pet one day and discovered the error, hence the name Thomasina. Very rare for an orange tabby to be female but not as rare as a male calico. Male calicos DO exist but are the rarest of all . I think because they die in childbirth. But don't hold me to that. LOL

I hope you're not a vetinarian as well......

amo esta pelicula 😊
Patrick Mc Goohan...is he the King Longshanks in Braveheart??😮
The look of shock on McGoohan's face is classic. Great family fun film and total departure from his work he had already done and would do.
Is it possible to upload this beautiful film?
KellyGreen5555.I hope so. I saw this film when i was s child, it was transmitted only in tv. I never saw it on sale

I remember this well....
@SallieSimpson They named her Thomasina because they had originally called her Thomas...then 'got to know her better'
@jwrocks Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomon or very close to this in name. If you put in a search it might correct the spelling for you.
