Tomcat (German: Kater) is a 2016 Austrian drama film directed by Klaus Händl.[1] It was shown in the Panorama section at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival,[2] where it won the Teddy Award as the best LGBT-related feature film of the festival.[3]

The film stars Philipp Hochmair as Andreas and Lukas Turtur as Stefan, a well-off gay couple in Vienna whose relationship is tested when Stefan, in an uncharacteristic sudden outburst of violent anger, kills their pet cat Moses.[4] The film's original German title is a pun on the identical German words for (a male) cat and hangover.
