That Darn Cat

Patti (Christina Ricci) is a small-town teenager whose assertive tomcat, D.C., unravels a kidnapping plot like a ball of yarn — much to the chagrin of the bungling kidnappers in this Disney family comedy based on the novel Undercover Cat. Ricci takes over the role originated by Hayley Mills in the 1965 version of the film, and Dean Jones, who starred in the original, returns in a different role in this remake.
