Suggested by enzotakerian
Based on the book by Paul Gallico, the author of "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" and "The Poseidon Adventure." Peter is a young boy in England whose parents are always away and his nanny is rather distant with him. What Peter loves and his nanny doesn't is cats. He would often get in trouble for bringing in stray cats. In fact, there's an epidemic of strays all over the country. One night, Peter sees a stray cat about to get hit by a car. He runs out and rescues the feline but then he himself gets hit. Upon regaining consciousness, Peter sees that he has somehow TRANSFORMED INTO A WHITE CAT! His nanny shoos him away, thinking he's just another "filthy" stray. He fends for himself on the dirty streets of London and the other stray cats are not so friendly, except one: a striped tabby named Jennie who saves him from an attack and washes him. Peter realizes that Jennie is the same cat he rescued and it gets difficult explaining what he has been through. Their friendship gets complicated since Jennie really dislikes humans (on account of being abandoned by her adoptive family). While they set out trying to figure something out, Jennie teaches Peter the ways of being a cat.
