The Cat (Red Dwarf) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The Cat is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Red Dwarf, played by Danny John-Jules.The character has no name, but is the humanoid descendant of modern house cats, specifically one called Frankenstein, which had been Dave Lister's pet cat. He is believed to be the last remaining member of his species, Felis sapiens. His mother was a cripple who whacked the Cat over the head with a frying pan after he tried to have sex with her. His father was mentally challenged and ate his own feet. They were left behind after the truce of the Cats. He has an alternate version of himself in an opposite universe called The Dog. His alter ego is the 'Prince of Dorks', Duane Dibbley, who is the complete opposite of the Cat.
As a humanoid cat he exhibits such feline characteristics as extreme vanity (manifested by a love of extravagant clothing), licking anyone who gives him food and a desire to scent-mark his territory. He carries a small spray-can (contents unknown) in his pocket for the purpose of scent-marking, all the while saying, "This is mine, this is mine." He loses the latter two traits, though, as he spends more time with the crew and they rub off on him. He hardly ever calls anyone by their name, preferring to call Kryten "Novelty Condom Head" or "half eaten lollypop head", Rimmer "Goalpost Head", Lister "Buddy" or "Gerbil-face" and Kochanski "Officer Bud-Babe".
In early episodes he seems totally self-absorbed and unconcerned by the problems facing the rest of the crew, but by series 4 he has developed a friendship with Lister, possibly due to their mutual contempt for Rimmer. He soon becomes a skilled pilot and develops an ability to "smell" danger, even in space, although he doesn't grasp scientific terms.
In the first and second pilot episodes of an American version of the television series, the Cat was also played by Hinton Battle and Terry Farrell respectively.
