Despite Marina acting as if Cupcake means nothing to her, Reynard knows better.

Severe Kitty Carnage Warning! Reynard turns his back to Marina, still holding her cat. There is a horrible sound and when he turns back the cat has been turned inside out, apparently still alive. Thankfully the cat actor wasn’t called upon to actually endure this trauma.
