Cats have long been familiar faces on the big screen, appearing in iconic films such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Ghost, and The Godfather. Despite their cinematic presence, training cats for film roles is notoriously challenging.

Animal coordinators on movie sets must manage studio conditions, cast and crew interactions, and object movements to avoid disturbing the cat. Each cat’s unique personality is crucial in selecting the right feline for a role. Training can include teaching cats to walk on a leash, interact with dogs, and even perform specific actions like hissing or problem-solving.
