Not really. The narrator of the clip is just being puckish, and it's irresistable, because he's got a thick French accent. But what he's talking about is this clip by the very early filmmakers Auguste and Louis Lumiere, in which a little girl in a huge sun hat waves a tidbit around for a dark longhaired cat.
The clip is attributed to the turn of the 20th century; for a moment, a little girl and her pet, both long gone now, are alive and happy in the sun, as if there were no difference between yesterday and tomorrow.

Loved the clip, especially where the kittie put one paw on the little girls arm. They obviously loved each other very much.
