Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: As a result of being nearly electrocuted in his bath tub, high-living, womanizing jerk Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) gains the ability to read women’s minds, a questionable gift that — eventually — betters his manipulative character.

Kitty Cameo: The new and improved Nick races to save mousy but still definitely cute-as-can-be Erin (Judy Greer) from a possible suicide. As he bangs on her apartment door, Erin’s slender orange tabby slips though the door opening into the hall.

The concerned cat paws at the bedroom doors, which are opened by a panicky Nick.

During the subsequent conversation between Nick and Erin, her supportive cat is visible in the background and on the bed.

Final Mewsings: The cat did not need extracurricular powers to sense Erin’s vulnerability.

Many thanks to Mark Murton and M2 Labs for also spotting the cat in this film.
