The Boxing Cats (Prof. Welton's), or simply Boxing Cats,[2] is an 1894 American short silent film directed by William K.L. Dickson and William Heise, and starring Henry Welton. It depicts a boxing match between two cats, each wearing a pair of boxing gloves.[1] The two cats were members of Welton's touring "cat circus",[3][4] which reportedly also featured cats riding bicycles.[5]

The Boxing Cats was filmed in Thomas Edison's Black Maria studio in West Orange, New Jersey, on 35 mm.[1] The film has been described as a precursor to cat videos popular on the Internet.[2][5]
