- And the recent `Sleepwalkers' by King features cats in an even more
- prominent hero role. It seems these sleepwalker creatures, evolved from
- cats themselves, find cat scratches to be fatal in large enough numbers.
- The movie depicted the cats as stalking the creatures, like they were
- natural enemies or the cats were protectors of the human race or something.
- There were literally hundreds of cats waiting outside the house of these
- things in the movies. It was amazing how well all those cats worked
- together. The movie itself was nothing to write home about.
