Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: Sam Treadwell (David Andrews) short circuits his feminine robot and sets out on a quest to find an exact replacement.
Robot Cat: While viewing other possible model robots at the repairman’s shop, a Bambi 14 model is suggested. She is lying on a table with a prone white cat next to her, apparently a companion robot.
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Sam heads out of town at the start of his quest and stops at a place called the Gloryhole Hotel. At the front desk is a water bottle with a gray and white cat inside!
The desk clerk (Jennifer Balgobin) comes to book Sam into the hotel, pausing to feed the cat with some kind of meat on a stick which she pokes down through the bottle opening. The poor cat ends up dropping the morsel.
No reference to the bottled cat is made, although Sam’s reaction to it makes it seem it is not an ordinary sight, even in the future.
Poor Cat: A poor cat screech is heard later in the film as Sam runs around a corner into some things, but no cat is actually seen.
Final Mewsings: If I could save cats in a bottle ….
