Where's the cat now?
Did the cat end up in an animal shelter? Or did it die off? Or..?
shareWell, 43 years after the movie was released, I think it's safe to say that D.C. is no longer with us.

Well I certainly hope he didn't end up in an animal shelter.

We had a Siamese cat that lived to be twenty-one when we had to put her down. That's about as long as you can hope for with a Siamese, which is a long-lived breed.
RIP DC

According to Wikipedia:
"Each of the Seal Point Siamese cats who collectively play the role of DC are so-called "traditional" or "old style" Siamese, as opposed to the more dainty, long and tubular modern Siamese show cats. One of the cats used for the movie belonged to a longtime cat breeder Edith Williams, a member of the Stud Book Fanciers Association. One of the feline actors also starred, along with two dogs, in Disney's 1963 film The Incredible Journey."

I read an article in the LA Times many years ago about the owner. I think they were Disney writers, or worked in show biz in some other capacity--can't quite remember. But DC lived on with them until his passing sometime in the 70's.
