Production



This was the first time a cat played the lead role in a Tamil film. The makers of the film bought a cat named Jenny for the film and used computer graphics for anything that the cat cannot do.

Reception



Thinkal Menon of 'The Times of India' gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and said that "The director has attempted to bring difference to a done-to-death plot by giving importance to a cat. Though the idea isn't bad, the poor quality of the computer graphics and ineffective screenplay let down the entire film". Chitra Deepa Anantharam of 'The Hindu' mocked the film and said that "Those of you who withstood the last 30 minutes, may you come across an empty ATM loaded with cash or at least get change for Rs. 2000". On the contrary, Malini Mannath of 'The New Indian Express' opined that "With 112 minutes of running time, 'Meow' is a watchable and an engaging entertainer". A critic from 'Samayam' said that the film could be enjoyed if you overlook the minor glitches. Critics from 'Dinamalar' and 'Maalai Malar' criticised the age-old storyline.
