Kitty Cameo: Near the beginning of the film Andy spots his dad, along with Mr. Peyton Potter (Edward Everett Horton), the father of his girlfriend, in a nightclub.  He calls his girlfriend’s house where her mother, Mrs. Potter, is sleeping on a lounge chair with a copy of Variety over her face.  A white Persian cat is sitting on the table between her and the phone.

She sleepily reaches for the phone and ends up picking up the cat by the scruff.  She then puts the cat to her ear and shouts, “Hello?” before realizing her mistake.
