Why TV characters don't have pet cats. - Catherine - 03-15-2022
I never noticed, but now that you mention it, there are not a lot of Hollywood cats.
It seems cats just don't cooperate with how TV is filmed. It takes and hour to film a 16 second shot.

They mention just letting the cat roam and film it when it is there. The cat would tend to appear all over the place like a magic cat.
Aren't all cats magic? Don't they all appear all over the place without warning. That would seem more real to me than a staged cat shot.
I think they should try having more cats doing their own thing and see how it goes.
