How it feels

A stray cat links three separate horror stories. Each tale involves ordinary people facing strange and deadly situations, with the cat appearing as a silent witness or a key player. The final story focuses on a young girl who must be saved from a supernatural threat.

What happens

Cat's Eye (also known as Stephen King's Cat's Eye) is a 1985 American anthology horror thriller film directed by Lewis Teague and written by Stephen King. It comprises three stories: "Quitters, Inc.", "The Ledge", and "General". The first two are adaptations of short stories in King's 1978 Night Shift collection, and the third is unique to the film. The cast includes Drew Barrymore, James Woods, Alan King, Robert Hays, and Candy Clark. The three stories are connected by the presence of a traveling cat and Barrymore, both of whom play incidental roles in the first two and major characters in the third. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
