International Cat Day ~ The Game.
Thursday, August 8, 2019 at 2:34PM Happy International Cat Day, one of the most essential holidays of all time.
Audrey Hepburn with "Cat" in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
After the jump we're playing a game. Can you guess which human actors these big screen cats are coupled with in these images? The answers are included under the photos but you'll have to highlight them to read them since they're in white type. Tell us how many you were able to figure out before looking at the answers!
A) Guessed by BVR. that ginger beast is chewing on... Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns (1992) which is obviously a favourite of ours.
B) Guessed by Renaud. That adorable kitten is purring while climbing up... Clive Owen's leg in Children of Men (2006). Wouldn't you?
C) Guessed by Volvagia (and this was a tough one). That cat is getting picked up by... Lillian Gish in the silent epic Birth of a Nation (1915)
D) Guessed by James. That poor poor kitty waiting in the window. Who is gonna feed him now that... Brooke Smith is about to get snatched by Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs (1991). Remember when we dove deep into this film?
E) Guessed by Roger. Oooh look it's Marty who is nonplussed about the awful attack he watches happen to... Isabelle Huppert in Elle (2016). But she loves him anyway
F) Guessed by Jay, who is really a cat savant. This lucky cat is about to be cuddled by... Sophia Loren in the brilliant Italian classic Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (1963)... a film we wrote about here.
G) Guessed by Amirfarhang. This cat is more like a symbol than a character. He represents... Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief (1955) another film we've written about before.
H) Guessed by J.B. Yup, that's crookshanks who belongs to ... Emma Watson in the Harry Potter movies.
I) Guessed by Jay. This hungry cat is waiting for food. And with good reason... He co-stars in the food movie Julie & Julia (2009) with Amy Adams. ... which we just barely discussed.
J) Guessed by James. This cat escapes a grim fate after... Christian Bale tries to feed him to an ATM machine in American Psycho (2000)... a film we may have mentioned once or twice or thirteen times
K) Guessed by DX. This beauty belongs to... Kate Nelligan in Frankie & Johnny (1991) who is in bed with Johnny (Al Pacino) while Arsenio Hall plays on the TV, forever dating this particular movie.
P.S. Thank you to Cinema Cats which exhaustively documents cat appearances onscreen from which these images are lifted.

A) Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns (1992)
I) Just because I JUST saw this (because of your post a few days ago), it's the cat from JULIE & JULIA, I believe. Julie's cat.
H) Emma Watson, Harry Potter!
Fun game!
Jay -- you are correct.
BVR -- you are correct
JB - you are correct.
good job guys. Now about these other images....
C: Halle Berry, because I'm pretty sure that's from her Catwoman movie?
J is American Psycho I believe.
I knew the Harry Potter one that was correctly identified already, but the rest were tough.
B = Children of men. I remember the purring :)
D is The Silence of the Lambs?
Is the cat from Romancing the Stone getting a special post?
E) Isabelle Huppert and Marty in ELLE
If I’m right, that same cat actor would appear in François Ozon’s DOUBLE LOVER, this time named Milo!
G) to catch a thief
Really enjoyed the game
I was hoping for a shot from Can You Ever Forgive Me?
H -- i LOOOOOVE that cat. we'll have to save him for another time.
Deborah --ooh good choice.
Amirfarhang -- you are correct
Roger - you are correct
James - you are correct about both photos but who are the actors in the photos?
Renaud -- you are correct. good guess
jb - you are correct
Volvagia -- incorrect. though i could see that guess because there is probably a weird retro segment. But this is actually a really old (but really famous) movie
STILL NOT GUESSED --- C, F, K
Okay, then it's Katherine Ross in Butch and Sundance?
Volvagia -- much older than that.
Lilian Gish, Birth of a Nation?
K) Frankie and Johnny. When Johnny and Cora, in bed, together!
Which one is Taylor Swift?
I am a cat lover but I couldn't guess any of them. : (
I'm gonna to listen "Todos quieren ser ya gatos jazz" (The spanish version of "Everbody wants to be a cat") to feel better : )
Oooh is F the cat from one of the segments of De Sica's Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow?
Either way, it's from some italian movie...
Volvagia -- you got it right! BIRTH OF A NATION
Jay -- ohmygod. Well done. It's Sophia Loren reaching for the cat there.
Dx -- excellent work!!!
I only got D, G, and H. I guess my cat allergy extends to movies.
No "The Cat From Outer Space" with Sandy Duncan?!?!?!?
forever1267 -- i mean there are literally thousands of movies in which cats appear so this was but a random sampling ;)
Love this. A small part of me was hoping to see the cat in Cat's Eye, some compensation for what he's put through in that movie!
thanks for the share, it is very nice to see this cat funny moments.
