Felidae is a 1994 German adult animated film in the murder mystery genre. It is based on the 1989 novel of the same name. The film focuses on a housecat named Francis, who moves into a new neighborhood only for brutal murders of other cats living there to begin taking place, leading Francis and his new acquaintances to investigate.

Felidae was the most expensive animated film to produce in Germany to date, costing over 10 million DM (or 5 million USD) to produce. Unfortunately, the film flopped at the box office due to poor marketing, though it would become a cult classic. The English dub of the film was only ever released in an English-speaking country on a hard to find VHS release in Australia, though the dub was included in German and French DVDs. Most English-speaking fans of the film would discover it through the countless reuploads of the English dub on YouTube.

However, it was announced that the film would finally be released in the United States in 2024 by Deaf Crocodile, as an Ultra HD Blu-ray. This is the film's first official American release after 30 years.

A sequel book with new characters, Felidae on the Road, was released in 1992. However, unlike the original, it would never see an animated adaptation. The book series has 8 books in total, though only Felidae and Felidae on the Road would be released in English.
