That Darn Cat! is a 1965 American Walt Disney Productions feature film starring Hayley Mills and Dean Jones, starring in his first film for Disney in a story about bank robbers, a kidnapping and a mischievous cat. The film was based on the book Undercover Cat by Gordon and Mildred Gordon and was directed by Robert Stevenson. The title song was written by the Sherman Brothers and sung by Bobby Darin. That Darn Cat! was the last of six films Hayley Mills made for the Disney Studios. The 1997 remake featured a cameo appearance by Dean Jones. "That Darn Cat" or "DC" is a wily, adventurous Siamese... tomcat who lives with two young women, suburbanite sisters Ingrid and Patti Randall , whose parents are traveling abroad at the time of the story. One night, while making his rounds around town, teasing Blitzy the Bulldog as usual, DC follows Iggy , a bank robber, to an apartment where he and his partner Dan are holding bank employee Margaret Miller hostage, calling her "Moms" in the process. The robbers let the cat in and feed him.
