Did you notice the part where the maid's boyfriend is saying goodbye to the family before he goes off to war? He says farewell to each family member, including the cat, who is eating. When he addresses the cat, Napoleon briefly looks up from his food in acknowledgement now that's good acting!

I believe Napoleon escaped the bunker when the door blew open. I'm disappointed the film doesn't follow up on his apparent demise. His/her relationship with Toby is one of my favourite elements of the movie.

If Horace had been killed we would have heard about it. Remember in their shelter Clem says, "I wonder what Toby would do without that cat." If anything had happened to him I'm sure it would have been shown or mentioned, to make the auidence madder at the Germans for killing an innocent little animal. I think the cat just got lost in the shuffle as the plot went on, but was okay.
There's an almost identical thread on this same subject on page 2 of this board (as of this date). It even has the exact same post by the person who provided the "biography" of the cat (real name: Beth) on this thread. Obviously the fate of this cat is more important to most viewers than what happened to the people in this movie! -

Yes, I agree with you. -

The second biggest travesty of Mrs Miniver (after Walter Pidgeon getting an Oscar nomination) was that the cat did not get an acting credit
