Kitty Cameo: In one scene Lizzie is thinking back to some of the pranks Drop Dead Fred pulled. A childhood friend asks if she remembers when she and Fred borrowed his father’s electric razor. The scene flashes back to a doorway where the razor is shown being held out by Fred. There is then a meowing and buzzing and fur is shown flying. Fred then holds out the long-haired orange and white cat whose mid-section has been shaved.
