P.S. Your Cat is Dead! is a 2002 American comedy film directed by Steve Guttenberg. The film is based on the novel of the same name published by James Kirkwood, Jr. in 1972, and a 1975 play.[2]
The film stars Guttenberg as Jimmy Zoole, an unemployed actor whose life is falling apart: his girlfriend has just left him, and his pet cat has just died of a bladder infection. One day he catches Eddie (Lombardo Boyar) in his apartment trying to rob him and ties the burglar up, but unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with Eddie.[3] However, the film tones down the novel's original ending, in which Jimmy and Eddie team up to stage another crime and then run off together.
