That Darn Cat (1997)

In the quaint tapestry of a small Massachusetts town, a pair of hapless criminals bungle their plot, mistakenly kidnapping a humble maid instead of their intended target - an affluent businessman's wife. Amidst this chaos, a street-savvy alley cat named D.C., an acronym for 'Darn Cat', inadvertently becomes the maid's only hope. On his nocturnal prowls for a snack, D.C. stumbles upon the kidnapped maid, who is imprisoned, bound and gagged, within the grim confines of a shed. In a desperate bid for rescue, the maid etches a plea for help on the back of her wristwatch, placing it around the unsuspecting cat's neck. This seemingly ordinary object turns into an unexpected beacon of hope when D.C.'s owner, Patti, discovers the watch. The cryptic message scratched onto it leads her to connect the dots to the missing maid. Fuelled by determination and with a newfound purpose, Patti transforms into an amateur detective. She enlists the assistance of Zeke, an FBI agent who has been assigned to crack the peculiar case. Together, they form an unlikely alliance, guided by the adventurous D.C. as they navigate through the narrow labyrinth of the town. In this captivating tale of courage, cunning, and feline intuition, follow Patti, Zeke, and D.C. as they weave their way through tight spots and unexpected turns to track down the captive, demonstrating the extraordinary feats ordinary individuals (and cats) are capable of when pushed to their limits.
