The Grasshopper (1970)

by Linda Kay

Directed by: Jerry Paris

Synopsis: Christine Adams (Jacqueline Bisset) leaves her parents’ home in British Columbia to move in with a boyfriend in Los Angeles, but an unexpected stop in Vegas sets her on a very different path.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): As Christine leaves home at the start of the film she passes by an absolutely adorable longhair tabby kitten who happens to be sitting on the front step.

She pauses just long enough to pet the kitten’s head before picking up her suitcase and leaving.
