After dark all cats are leopards.
Native American proverb
Cats have many different sides to their personalities—they are adorable, bewitching, mischievous, often aloof, and always supremely independent. As any cat owner will know, they are notoriously difficult to train (unless hungry), and as a result, few cats have taken leading roles in Hollywood movies. However, some cats, against all the odds, have produced spellbinding performances. Who can forget the heartwarming Three Lives of Thomasina, where Thomasina helps to reunite her her family, or The Adventures of Milo and Otis, where Milo the kitten’s relationship with Otis the Pug is so enchanting? This beautiful book takes a trip through nearly 100 years of movies to seek out and celebrate those memorable feline moments.
From Publishers Weekly
Would Marlon Brando’s Don Vito Corleone be so imposing without his purring gray tabby in The Godfather? Would Meet the Parents elicit as many laughs without the toilet-trained Himalayan Mr. Jinx? While few films are dedicated entirely to cats, these creatures have pawed their own cinematic history on the silver screen. Film journalist Lloyd cursorily reviews a pantheon of feline actors—their roles, their rapport with human co-stars and their major achievements. Among the 40 performances noted, some cats stick out, like Orangey, the notoriously temperamental feline who played "Cat" in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and won two PATSYs—a.k.a. Picture Animal Top Star of the Year, the animal equivalent of an Oscar—for his work in that film and Rhubarb. Audrey Hepburn remarked that the scene where her character Holly Golightly throws Cat into a rainy alley was "the most distasteful thing she ever had to do on film." In Anger Management, special fiber-filled fat-cat-suits were designed for Meatball, the cat who modeled Dave Buznuk’s (played by Adam Sandler) apparel for overweight felines. Aimed squarely at cat lovers, this is a slight but pleasing book.
