The five most memorable cinematic felines

With the documentary “African Cats” opening, here’s a look at the five most memorable cinematic felines:

•Puss-in-Boots from the “Shrek” movies: Antonio Banderas was a total scene-stealer when he voiced this character in the 2004 sequel “Shrek 2.” Puss also goes along for the ride in 2007’s “Shrek the Third” and is the only reliable source of comedy in last year’s “Shrek Forever After.”

•Mr. Tinkles from the “Cats & Dogs” movies: He’s soft and white and fluffy but don’t let his looks or his cutesy name fool you. This power-hungry Persian is hell-bent on ridding the world of those enemy dogs and ensuring world domination for his species. Sean Hayes voices the character.

•Fritz the Cat (1972): He curses and smokes pot, sparks riots and indulges in orgies — and the best part of all is, he’s animated. Fritz, the star of “Fritz the Cat,” engages in such wild and shocking activities, it earned an X rating — a first for an animated movie.

•Blofeld’s cat from the James Bond movies: Such a sweet and docile kitty, sitting there in its master’s lap, minding its own business, enjoying nice pets on its soft, white fur. Only the cat’s master is Blofeld, one of James Bond’s most persistent enemies.

•“Cat” from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1961): Blake Edwards’ classic romantic comedy provided one of the defining roles for Audrey Hepburn: Holly Golightly. In the final final scene, she kicks the orange cat — whom she’s intentionally never named — out of the cab in the rain but runs to find him.

“NURSE JACKIE” (10 p.m., Showtime): Anxiety is mounting as our troubled title character sees her pill stash run low. Prepare yourself for an outbreak of panic attacks and cold sweats.
