I believe the answer is:

psycho

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'film' is the definition.
(Alfred Hitchcock film)

'us leaving cat food endlessly' is the wordplay.
'leaving' suggests deleting specific letters.
'cat' becomes 'pussy' (pussy can mean a cat).
'food endlessly' becomes 'cho' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pussy' with 'us' taken away is 'psy'.
'psy'+'cho'='PSYCHO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for psycho that I've seen before include "Well-known Hitchcock film" , "Hitchcock's 1960 classic chiller" , "In brief, person with severe mental disorder - ask Alfred Hitchcock" , "1960 Hitchcock film" , "Hitchcock's 1960 thriller" .)
