Saw this movie as a young kid in Scotland and it stuck

I saw this movie in the early 70's. I remembered the movie was about 13 girls and one of them had a cat. She played quite the little detective and got into some real misadventures. Leaving her mark as Kitten by dipping her cat's paw in ink. I loved it and would like to get my hands on it sometime soon. Great movie for young kids into detective suspense stuff. I'm glad I found this site because finding this movie has been a monkey on my back for over 20 years.
