Fordy: The cat has been criminally overlooked in cinema and I aim to right this wrong with Classic Cat Cameos - a series that....*sniff*...NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM...
Dervish: Fordy??
Fordy: Oh sorry, I got distracted by some tuna. As I was saying... a series that honours those unsung heroes of film: cats. For this first episode I will be talking about the cat in The Godfather.
This feline thespian appears in the important opening scene where Don Corleone is petitioned by Bonasera. We see the Don sitting at his desk, with the Cat on his lap. He pays a lot of attention to kitty and kitty is very happy and playful. The Cat instantly establishes the godfather as a man of dual characteristics: at once ruthless but also capable of tenderness. Therefore the Cat is crucial to the entire movie! I rest my case.
