Accidental Cat Moment
Cats are the epitome of thinking they are the center of the universe, which is kind of true. The iconic cat that was featured in this scene was actually just a stray who was found roaming around the set. The cat was very friendly and social, so the filmmakers decided to use that to their advantage.
A Feline Friend
The cat happily plopped down on Brando's lap when directed. The cat was so happy to be there that they had to cut out the sound of purring in post-production. No one on set knew how iconic this scene would be in film history!
