Synopsis
Inside the Mind of a Cat (2022) is a Netflix documentary you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Andy Mitchell. The film brings together animal behavior researchers, veterinary psychologists, and cognitive scientists to look at what's actually happening inside a domestic cat's head.
The questions it takes on are ones most cat owners have asked at some point: how strong is their memory, do they form genuine attachments to people, how do they read human emotion, and why does attention-seeking turn off so suddenly? The scientists run experiments — some in labs, some in homes — and the results are specific enough to be genuinely interesting rather than just reassuring.
At 67 minutes it doesn't overstay its welcome. The tone is warm without being cloying, and it's honest about what researchers still don't know. A good watch for anyone who lives with a cat and wants something beyond the usual "cats are mysterious" loop. Stream Inside the Mind of a Cat online on iFILM.
