I found this movie kept my attention. I mainly wanted to see this movie to see Ellen page, before she catapulted into movie stardom, a truly gifted actress. The editing, music score and flow works very well.

Ghost Cat Movie Review!
I'm reluctant to agree whether this should be considered a kid's film or not. Looks to me like a PG-13 movie at best. Let us find out why.
The premise is thus: An elderly woman and her cat pass away and the house is put to sale by her nephew. Soon thereafter, our main protagonists buy the house. Natalie (played by Ellen Page) then realises that she is seeing the ghost of the deceased cat.
What can be said about this movie? Well, let's start with the acting. This being a "kids" movie, the acting is decent. It's pretty obvious where the roles of each character lies. There is not a bit of mystery in that, and the clichés are everywhere.
The visuals are nice. Even the effects to make the cat ghost-like looks very well. It was actually kind of cute seeing the thing vanish into thin air as it did. So kudos for that decentness.
The story-line is pretty obvious, but I feel it is inappropriate. We have themes of embezzlement, corruption, attempted murder and such, in a kid's movie. I mean, I know kid movies are adventurous in many senses, but I think there should be a limit. It's harmless enough, I guess, but eh...let's hope this doesn't become the norm.
So bottom line. It is watchable, it can be entertaining and it does have its moments. It is an average movie.
5 out of 10.

Cat food? That's all she wanted.
Natalie and her dad move to a small town with a Civil War history and many rumors of ghost sightings. Natalie's dad specializes in writing about ghosts and hopes to research some of the accounts and tell their tales. The house they initially want to move in has a little old lady and her cat, but the old lady decides at the last moment that she doesn't want to give up her place quite yet; a few days later, she passes away. Natalie and her father end up moving into the house, and Natalie starts seeing the ghost of the lady and her cat. Natalie and her dad may have their own ghost story to tell.
"You should see all the things she does with animals."
Don McBrearty, director of The Wild Girl, An Old Fashion Christmas, Star Spangled Banner, Unstable, Sex & the Single Mom, Chasing Freedom, and More Sex & A Single Mom, delivers Ghost Cat. The storyline for this picture is nothing special and very much a family friendly tale. The acting is fairly mediocre and the cast includes Ellen Page, Shirley Knight, Michael Ontkean, Lori Hallier, and Shawn Roberts.
"There isn't a normal."
I grabbed this off Netflix because it starred Ellen Page (I'm a fan). She was just okay in this, as this is similar quality to a Disney non-animated picture. It's fairly cheesy with a mediocre script and some fun scenes for kids but nothing that really holds an adult's attention. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to see this.
"Make your presence known to us."
Grade: D

Ellen Page stars in the Animal Planet original film Ghost Cat. A young teenager named Natalie starts to believe that the spirit of a dead cat is trying to tell her something from the beyond when she experiences a number of odd occurrences at her new house; meanwhile a land developer attempts to shut down an animal shelter that she volunteers at. The film really feels like it's pandering to animal lovers with the B story about the shelter, and the writing is really simplistic. Additionally, the performances are rather wooden and colorless. A contrived and formulaic kid's film, Ghost Cat is extraordinarily tame and unfulfilling.

Mediocre acting with a terribly predictable story. Potentially a fun movie for kids and teens though.
