>The plot: a composer of jazz music is stuck as to what to write, when

>based on the notes the cat 'sings', this breaks his creative block,
>and he becomes very successful. He also gives the cat a home.

>For some reason, he eventually chucks the cat out, but without his

>It turns out the cat's a she, and the last scene is of the composer
>playing his music on television, and the cat and her kittens gathered
>round the TV watching the show.

>It was a beautifully made cartoon - can anyone tell me the title?
>Thanks.
