This would be even better if the cat had been hired to kill the Samurai but refused and made him his personal butler instead.

'Neko Zamurai' was a film franchise and Japanese TV show which premiered few years back. It was based on the relationship of a samurai and a cat. The samurai was given the task of killing the cat, which belonged to a rival gang, but he refused to do so and took the furry animal under his wing.
"Kyutaro, a famous swordsman, is hired by a dog-loving gang to kill their feline-loving rival's beloved cat. When he sees the cute kitty, he cannot kill it and becomes a cat lover, angering both gangs", read the show's synopsis.
