Hi, I believe the title was "JT" or something like that. I too loved this story, and also thought it was on the film festival (late sixties or early seventies?)I remember that the boy ( I think his name was JT) would bring the cat cans of tunafish to eat, and he left his transistor radio in the box he made for the cat to live in. Anyway, hope that might give you some clues to where to find this film. Carol
I bought a copy of JT, thinking that was the one I remember, but it is not. The show I saw was a much younger child. The cat was all white I believe and Im not sure if it was shown around Christmas or Valentines, but it was shown for several years. I just remember it really touched my heart as a youngster.
