🎬 The Bride! (2026), Maggie Gyllenhaal

🐱 George, black and white tuxedo coat. Played by Smudge, award-winning animal actor

📍 Spotted in Dr. Euphronius's lab, on the dining room table, and during the police raid. In that last scene, he settles under a table. Observing.

😼 On set, the police "fired" using claps. To make him look scared, trainers stepped back clapping their hands. He treated every treat like it was his last. Smudge is a rescue cat, trained and rehabilitated by his handler.

🎬 Captain Marvel (2019), Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck

🐱 Goose, soriano arancio. In realtà è un Flerken

📍 Avvistato in ufficio, sull'astronave, sul cruscotto, in zero gravity. Ovunque. Come tutti i gatti. Solo che questo inghiotte il Tesseract.

😼 Apparenza: gatto domestico innocuo. Realtà: alieno con tentacoli enormi nella bocca capace di contenere dimensioni intere. Sul set era interpretato da quattro gatti reali - Reggie, Archie, Rizzo e Gonzo - ognuno addestrato per scene diverse. I tentacoli erano CGI, per fortuna.

⚠️ Nei fumetti si chiama Chewie, in omaggio a Star Wars. Nel film è stato rinominato Goose in omaggio a Top Gun. Il gatto non è stato consultato in nessuno dei due casi.

🎬 Doctor Sleep (2019) · Mike Flanagan

🐱 Azzie, white ragdoll. Full name: Azrael, the Angel of Death

📍 Lives at the hospice where Dan Torrance works. Sits on patients' beds before they die. Never wrong. (X)

😼 Named after Oscar, a real cat from a Rhode Island nursing home with the same ability. King saw a news segment about him and it inspired the entire novel. (Romper) Dan's colleagues call Azzie his assistant. He doesn't deny it.

⚠️ In the scene where Azzie jumps on Dan's desk, he puts down a magazine — the same January 1978 issue of Playgirl his father Jack read at the Overlook in The Shining. (Instagram) Flanagan never leaves anything to chance.

🎬 Alice in Wonderland (1951), Geronimi, Luske, Jackson

🐱 Dinah · red kitten · renamed Oreste in the Italian dub

📍 Spotted at the beginning and end of the film, in the real world only. Never sets a paw in Wonderland. Has more common sense than every other character combined.

😼 The Italian name Oreste isn't random — it exists so the Mad Hatter can make a pun. The cat was renamed for a joke. She was not consulted.

⚠️ In Carroll's novel, Dinah appears from the very first pages and is Alice's constant thought during the fall down the rabbit hole.

✅ TW: CAT IS FINE (never went to Wonderland, making her the most mentally stable character in the film)

📺 Extraordinary S01E02 (Hulu/Disney+)

🐱 Jizzlord, tortoiseshell, actually a man

📍 Spotted in the bedroom, on the floor, on the rug. Apparently a stray cat. Actually a shapeshifter stuck in feline form for three years.

😼 Before Jen, he had an owner named David, with whom he competed in cat pageants under the name Hercule. David has since passed away. Jizzlord believes he died of a broken heart after he ran away. (Pinterest) The real cat on set was named Annie, had her own dressing room, and received a massage before every take. (Instagram) Luke Rollason did not.

⚠️ His real name is Robert Clutton. Structural engineer. Wife and son. (Netflix Tudum) Nobody knows yet at this point in the series.

🎬 Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) · Blake Edwards

🐱 Orangey · orange tabby · known on set as "the world's meanest cat"

📍 Spotted multiple times: on the bed, in the kitchen, in the rain. Everywhere, basically. As cats do.

😼 Two-time PATSY Award winner — the animal equivalent of an Oscar. Halted production multiple times by escaping. More decorated and more difficult than most human cast members. Holly calls him "poor slob without a name." He doesn't seem to mind.

⚠️ In Capote's novella, the cat disappears forever. Blake Edwards disagreed.

✅ TW: CAT IS FINE (wet, but fine)
