🎬 Ladies First (2026), Thea Sharrock

🐱 Name unknown, striped tabby scottish fold

📍 Spotted on the sofa, in the kitchen, in the bathroom. In the normal world he belongs to Alex, after the swap he belongs to Damien. Completely unbothered by either version of reality.

😼 Director Thea Sharrock fought hard to include the cat — for her it was something missing from the French original, absolutely non-negotiable. Obviously.

✅ TW: CAT IS FINE (survived two parallel universes, and dominated in both)

🎬 New Girl (2011-2018), Elizabeth Meriwether

🐱 Furguson Michael Jordan Bishop, Exotic Shorthair tigrato e bianco - alias "Sweatshirt" per la sua famiglia segreta

📍 Presenza fissa nel loft dalla stagione 3 alla 6, sempre pronto a occupare qualsiasi grembo libero

😼 Ha conquistato un'audizione ad Hollywood saltando dentro un bidone della spazzatura, ma Winston lo ha ritirato dallo showbiz: troppo stressante per lui

❌ TW: muore (sereno, di vecchiaia, tra le braccia di Winston, fuori scena) ma un anno dopo riceve la commemorazione che merita: lapide a tema ebraico e citazione di Game of Thrones ("e ora la sua guardia è finita")

🎬 Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed S01 (2026), created by David J. Rosen

🐱 Chester, ginger and white shorthair, "Bro" to his first owner Trevor, renamed Chester by Detective Baxter using criteria that are entirely his own

📍 Spotted in @pawyouneedislove TikTok videos where he appears in a bow tie, in Trevor's bed at three in the morning, and finally in a blue carrier brought to the hospital by Gonzalez in the season finale

😼 He belonged to Trevor, who simply called him "Bro." After spoiler Detective Baxter retrieves him from the shelter and decides he deserves a real name: he goes with Chester because he is a "sexy beast." Detective Gonzalez responds with her signature deadpan that in her opinion that's the name of a cat who died a virgin

✅ TW: CAT IS FINE (the only character in the show not having a crisis in the finale)

🎬 Big Hero 6 (2014), Don Hall and Chris Williams

🐱 Mochi, tricolor Japanese Bobtail, Aunt Cass and Hiro's cat, a male calico which makes him statistically one in three thousand

📍 Spotted on the couch when Cass calls him after lecturing the boys, in the hallway purring against Hiro who uses him as an excuse to cover Baymax's sounds, then thrown upstairs and found in the bedroom cradled in Baymax's arms being called "hairy baby" with perhaps excessive therapeutic intensity, and finally back on the couch with Cass watching Frankenstein

😼 Soft, lazy, and largely indifferent to everything happening around him until he gets dragged into it. An early design gave him rockets on his paws, later removed for reasons no one has adequately explained

✅ TW: CAT IS FINE (even after being thrown up the stairs by Hiro, which is not exactly the best way to thank someone for their purring)

🎬 Hocus Pocus (1993), Kenny Ortega

🐱 Thackery Binx, black shorthair, immortal by curse and deeply annoyed about it

📍 Spotted in the Salem cemetery, on the streets on Halloween night, in Dani's arms, on doorsteps, and wherever someone needs guidance from a person who has technically known what's going on since 1693

😼 He was a 17th-century boy who tried to save his sister from the Sanderson Sisters and was turned into an immortal black cat as punishment. He then spent roughly three hundred years waiting for someone to light the wrong candle. Eight real black cats took turns playing the role (Stimpy, Felix, Mad Cat, Clyde, Killer, Rio, Tom-Cat and 'Fraidy Cat), while complex expressions and dialogue were handled through a combination of an animatronic puppet, CGI and voice acting by Jason Marsden

✅ TW: CAT IS FINE (immortality has its perks, even if he would never admit it)

🎬 Ripley (miniseries, 2024), Steven Zaillian

🐱 Lucio, Maine Coon long tabby coat. Eyewitness unavailable to testify

📍 Spotted in the Rome apartment where Tom takes refuge, on the desk, on the hall bench, on the stairs, eyewitness to deaths and schemes with the expression of someone who has seen everything and has no intention of discussing it

😼 Steven Zaillian cast him deliberately: an impassive, judging witness who knows exactly what is happening in that apartment but who, for obvious reasons, cannot be called to the stand. The cat actor's name is King, chosen specifically for his calm nature and his ability to remain completely unbothered by whatever happens on set

✅ TW: CAT IS FINE (the same cannot be said for everyone else)

🎬 Practical Magic (1998), directed by Griffin Dunne

🐱 No name · black shorthair · familiar of the Owens family, decidedly not a background detail

📍 Spotted as a kitten on the picnic table during the aunts' magic lessons, then in the kitchen among roses and potions, then on the stairs hissing at Jimmy's ghost (impeccable judgment), and finally in Gillian's arms on the clifftop as everything resolves

😼 Never named. Always there, grows up alongside the sisters, never explained. Whether he's the true keeper of the Owens curse no one says out loud, but he knows

⚠️ Based on the novel "Practical Magic" by Alice Hoffman (1995)

✅ TW: CAT IS FINE (and has witnessed things that would traumatize anyone)
