Kitty Cameo: At one point the couple and a student psychologist working for the adoption agency (Téa Leoni) end up in a bed and breakfast for the night.  As Mel feared, it is run by an elderly woman who regales them with stories, not to mention her tuxedo cat.  Mel kicks toward the cat, which hisses at him.
