Cats Sleep on SFF: Cat People

Chad Saxelid has a kitten with a sense of timing:

I was looking forward to introducing Alexia Lefoux, our new kitten, to the Filers. Little did I know she would pick the best way possible: climbing into my lap and falling asleep whilst I was reading a short essay discussing Val Lewton and Jacque Tourneur’s classic 1942 film Cat People.
