Did they actually have a pet cat? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In the Season 4 opener it shows Samantha holding a kitten by the fish tank! It's so cute , like as if the kitty was eying Gertrude the fish as a tasty snack and Sam is waving her finger at the kitty as to scold him (or her) !!

But I never remember them ever showing the cat in other episodes or even mentioning a pet cat ? I haven't seen every episode , so does anyone else know or have any thoughts about this?

I do not remember any episodes in which they imply that they have a cat. I have no idea where that cat came from.

Simpson had a cat in Season 4, Episode 21, "Cat Story". Interestingly enough, that episode aired live on NBC.

Yeah ! I saw that ep. ! I'm thinking maybe this was Simpson's cat and they were cat sitting for him while he was on vacation?

I asked Lara Jill Miller about this. She just said "I liked cats. So they put one in the intro with me."

No, the Kanisky's didn't have a cat!

I asked Lara a while back. Maybe a year ago. I said "The Kanisky's didn't have a cat, and every shot in the season 3-6 intro was NOT used as actual final footage from the episode. So she said "Well, they put a cat in the scene with me because they knew I liked cats."

Are you a personal friend of Lara Jill Miller?

Oh wow!! Very cool! Thanks for your post!

I like cats too, and I like Lara Jill, Sam is my favorite of the Kanisky girls!! She is adorable and such a cute personality , it seems she would like cats!!

I asked Lara on her facebook page a while back. That's what she told me. The cat was in the intro with her because she liked cats. Yes, it seemed really unnecessary as they did not have a cat on the show.

But it was cute having the cat in the introduction and now we have this discussion going on here more than 30 years later !
