I first watched this when I was 9 as well (1969). I cried then, and now at 60, I still cry when I watch it. I adore Ja'net. She was fantastic as Willona on Good Times. Thankyou!

[@aavv1818]

I also watched it in 1969 (9 years old) and am unable to view it again, since I can never forget about the cute 🐈. Y ears later, I was talking to my boyfriend about the movie and he saw it too and said after the movie, he went to his basement and cried. -San Francisco fan girl

I was 6 in 1969 and being from Harlem, it was the 1st time I saw myself and my neighborhood on TV. This was a time a lot of us thought WE were the generation that would change everything. This is a sad story, but seeing this reminds me of the hope a lot of us had for a better world during that era. I'm old now, and it doesn't look like I'll live to see that day dawn upon this world, but maybe my grandchildren or their children will. Bless you all the same for posting this. I was able to transport back however briefly, to remember that hope. Thank you.

I always remembered the boy caring for the cat but did not remember what happened to it. NGL, I cried. I love J.T.'s character and his kind spirit and kindness towards animals really made an impact on me as a child. Thanks to this channel for putting it on here.♥️

Saw this when it first aired on CBS Children's Film Festival. I recall it was the only film to be re-aired, by viewers demand. Doris Day made the announcement on the air, before it was replayed. Truly an excellent film, thank you for posting it.

[@amightysailingman]

Actually, it wasn't part of the Children's Film Festival. That's a common misconception. It was shown on the CBS Children’s Hour, which was a different program that occasionally pre-empted the Monkees at 12:00, which might be followed by the Film Festival at 1 p.m. The difference is that the Film Festival focused on kids' films of foreign origin, while the Children's Hour had films specifically produced in the US for CBS. The Hour only lasted a season from 1969-70 because those films were too expensive to keep making for a young audience.

I haven't seen this in over fifty years. It had been so long that I had forgotten a lot of it. I remember him having the cat in an oven and I remember the cat getting ran over. I had been thinking about it lately and wanted to see it again but I did not remember the name of this program or any of the actors in it. I thought about googling it but I did not know where to start. I was also afraid to google it because I didn't think that I would be able to find it. I took a chance and googled "1970's tv christmas movies a black kid finds a cat" and it came right up. I was surprised of finding it that fast, but once I thought about it a movie about a black kid during that time would have been very rare. And for it to be on television during that time it had to have been special. I'm glad I found it. Once I started watching it again I started to remember more and more. This was a well done movie without being trite. They should make it a annual Christmas time special like A Christmas Story.

The cat reminds me of a stray who followed me home when I had an apartment near Yankee Stadium. I took the cat in and he shut down the mice who were dominating my kitchen. He found their source, a hole near the stove, and I sealed it. He also ruined a few hot dates I had because he had caught a few mice, nibbled on them, and then brought them into my living room or bedroom! You can imagine the terrified look in the young ladies I dated!
