"Koshkin House" was indeed produced in the former soviet union but it has a lesson for everyone. A well to do cat lives with her man servant in a beautiful house. She has the neighbors over for a night of entertainment and impresses the hell out of them - negatively! Meanwhile two orphan kittens keep coming to the house asking for help but are chased away repeatedly. After her "friends" leave the festivities the house burns, making the cat and her servant homeless. The two of them go to their so-called "friends" residences asking for shelter and are rebuffed by all of them. On the verge of freezing to death the cat and her servant come across a little shack and ask for shelter... Are they in for the surprise of their lives! No spoiler here.
