The Cat Who Walked by Herself (Russian: Ко́шка, кото́рая гуля́ла сама́ по себе́; tr.:Koshka, kotoraya gulyala sama po sebe) is a 1988 Soviet animated feature film directed by Ideya Garanina and made at the Soyuzmultfilm studio. It is based on Rudyard Kipling's short story, The Cat that Walked by Himself. Like the earlier Soviet animated feature Maugli, the film retains the dark, primal tone of Kipling's work.
