The Cat Returns - Baron n Haru

The Cat Returns (Japanese: 猫の恩返しThe Cat's Repayment) is a 2002 Japanese animated drama film.

Haru is treated to a feast at the castle of the Cat Kingdom and she begins to slowly turn into a cat with tan paws, ears and whiskers, though still mainly human, so that she will make a suitable bride for the Prince. At the feast, the Baron (in disguise) dances with Haru as part of the entertainment, and reveals to her that the more she loses herself in the kingdom, the more cat-like she will become, and that she has to discover her true self.
