Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains some images of female nudity!

Synopsis: Izabela (Eva Ras), a switchboard operator, falls in love with Ahmed (Slobodan Aligrudic), a high-ranking government sanitation expert (or rather a rat exterminator), which eventually leads to tragedy.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Izabela owns a black cat which is first seen one morning after Ahmed has spent the night.  She walks out to get the milk delivery and then we see the cat waiting by a saucer.  Oddly enough when Izabela pours the milk into the saucer the cat is not there, even though it is only moments later.

The cat shows up again walking beside a naked Izabela as she is stretched out on her bed.

 A wider shot shows the cat laying on her bare behind.

This leads directly into a scene where Izabela is making what appear to be blueberry blintzes.  The cat is seen several times as she is preparing them.

Finally Izabela is seen petting the cat as she and Ahmed sit naked on the bed.

Final Mewsings: Cats are not uncomfortable with human nudity.
