Line 69:
* Sassy from the ''[[Homeward Bound]]'' movies often had this trope invoked on her. The first time was when Chance chased her around the house when she kept piling on the insults on Chance during the wedding (which apparently ruined it slightly), the second time was when Chance catapulted her with the see-saw (which later turns out to be a [[Chekhov's Gun]] against a much bigger Mountain Lion), the third time was when the female caretaker farmer was busy feeding Chance, she accidentially stepped on Sassy's tail. The last time it happens is when the dogs rebounded when trying to escape the pound.
* Used repeatedly in ''[[Apt Pupil]]'' when Dussander is trying to force the cat into the oven.
* Turns up, of all places, in the [[Michael Moore]] documentary ''Capitalism: A Love Story''. In the scene replaying President Bush's [https://web.archive.org/web/20120617085651/http://articles.cnn.com/2008-09-24/politics/bush.transcript_1_markets-financial-assets-economy?_s=PM:POLITICS Our Economy Is In Danger] speech, animation in the background shows the White House wrecked by earthquakes, tidal waves, fire, lightning and hurricanes, which blow that same old poor cat through the air right behind ol'El Presidente.
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', Rex is pointing a flashlight at the bushes, in order to search for Buzz from the window (Buzz fell into the bushes earlier after a stint Woody pulled backfired horribly), Rex spots something in the bushes and inquires if its Buzz. The response is a cat screeching. All the toys then groan and Rex says in a sharp whisper "Whiskers, will you get outta there?! We're trying to do a search-and-rescue!"
* Done in the french film ''[[La Cite De La Peur]]''. Notable in that, because of a "low budget gag", a whole part of the film has sound effects done by the actors in the dubbing. And, yes, the cat scream was done by an actor, and the others comments "Wow, you do quite a good cat impression".
