Jones from ‘Alien’
The cat
A ginger Tom with a habit of wandering off into the vast bowels of the Nostromo in search of… what? Space mice?
The scene
It’s a horror classic. ‘Heeeeere, kitty kitty…’ After ‘little shithead’ Jones sets off the ship’s motion-tracking devices, Harry Dean Stanton is sent off into the cavernous cargo deck to bring him back. We’re not sure if it’s intentional, but Jones leads poor Harry right into the path of something very large, toothy and ill-tempered.

Never mind Carey Mulligan. Forget about Justin Timberlake. And who the hell is Oscar Isaac? The true star of the Coen brothers’ ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ is a bored-looking marmalade tomcat called Ulysses. And he’s not the first feline to paw their way into the spotlight.
