Cat jumping on table


Couldn't help LOL a lot when the cat at the end "jumped" on the table from left. Clearly some assistant held it and threw it towards a very serious NLK, but the angle is almost from upper left, cats usually jump from the floor. Flying cat!

It could've jumped from the top of a file cabinet or bookshelf. My cat spends most of her time sitting/sleeping on file cabinets and bookshelves (cats love high places with good vantage points) so it's not at all unrealistic that this particular cat jumped from the "upper left."

My cat jumps onto my desk all the time, but usually with a purpose - when cats get right up in your face like that, it's often b/c they want something and they're trying to get your attention. Mine does this to me when she's hungry, when there's bits of food floating in her water bowl, when she wants her litterbox cleaned, etc. So basically, she'll just sleep on the top of something for a long time and when she's ready for some food/petting/cuddle time, she'll leap down onto my desk (and often right onto my laptop).

I rather liked the obvious symbolism of the cat leaping onto Carl's desk, reminding him to cherish the time he has with his own son, after which he takes a leap of faith of his own by going to knock on his son's door.

I just interpreted it that the cat was intuitive to his inner state (cats can be, just like dogs), and came over to comfort him. I liked that part.

Thought the exact same thing...haha..the cat was clearly shoved on to the table......

Had the exact same reaction, lmao. Great film, despite the laugh there.
