It was marketed as “Scotch” tape because the Scots were known to be a wee bit thrifty, and would prefer to mend something rather than throw it out and buy a replacement. In the U.K. it’s just called Sellotape, but originally made by a different company than 3M.

You’re probably right, I may have been thinking of the cat. It’s an enjoyable movie.
