stunt double: Barbara Baldavin (uncredited) / stunt double: Marianna Hill (uncredited) (2 episodes, 1966) The animated series fell out of favor (and out of the Star Trek canon) in the 1980s, particularly by the time Star Trek: The Next Generation hit the airwaves, but M’Ress always been significant for me. When I was very young in the late 1970s, the live-action as well as the animated Star Treks were in reruns, and I didn’t differentiate between them. The fearsomeness of the Kzinti in that episode is somewhat undone by their pink-and-purple uniforms, a result of director Hal Sutherland’s unfortunate color-blindness.
Cat" was one of numerous words Miles O'Brien used due to his infection of the aphasia virus. ( DS9: " Babel") I remember getting dragged to see this as a 5-year-old, and even though I was the film’s target audience, it left me cold. (Maybe I was just bitter because I didn’t get to see Star Wars.) 6. Jonesy, Alien Jonesy also gets credit for being one of the rare cats to make it to the end of a horror movie, and he even makes a cameo appearance in the sequel. (Warning: The above clip is a bit violent, though Jonesy doesn’t get hurt.) The animated Star Trek could do things that the not-animated Star Trek couldn’t, like have a crewmember who was a sentient, bipedal cat by the name of Lt. M’Ress. She was from the planet Cait, because ÔǪ well, of course she was, and she had a tendency to purr/ululate between sentences.Not getting nearly as much screen time was the cat Chester, who appeared in only one episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but he’s worth mentioning because he was a rescue. It’s reassuring to know that even in the 24th century, people are still fighting the good fight. Referring to the fact his initial impressions of Star Trek were formed by watching TOS, Archer actor Scott Bakula noted, " I'm an old cat." ( Star Trek Monthly issue 84, p. 23) A couple of non- Star Trek cats from the fallow period between The Animated Series and The Next Generation bear mentioning. 5. Jake, The Cat From Outer Space
In the alternate reality, nearly a year after stardate 2259.55, after the USS Enterprise was rechristened, Captain James T. Kirk asked Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott about the performance of the new warp core. "Purrin' like a kitten, captain " was Scott's response. ( Star Trek Into Darkness)In the anti-time future seen by Jean-Luc Picard, Data had amassed a diverse collection of cats while a professor at Cambridge University. ( TNG: " All Good Things...") A "Gorokian feline" was referred to in the first draft script of VOY: " Death Wish". However, this creature was renamed a Gorokian midwife toad by the time the episode was shot. Individual cats [ ] stunt double: DeForest Kelley (uncredited) / stunt double: Tige Andrews (uncredited) (2 episodes, 1967) In 2366, Jeremy Aster used to play "Captain Patches" with his pet cat, pretending Patches was a captain flying through space. ( TNG: " The Bonding")
Some animal training manuals claimed that cats, by nature, could not be trained. ( TNG: " Force of Nature") Unlike canines, they did not respond to verbal commands. ( TNG: " Force of Nature", " Phantasms") Jenny Parks depicted characters from both TOS and TNG as cats in Star Trek Cats and Star Trek: The Next Generation Cats.
Individuals of this type were often kept as pets among Humans. Examples of cats kept as pets included Spot, owned by Data, ( TNG: " Data's Day", " In Theory", " Schisms") Neelix, owned by Reginald Barclay, ( VOY: " Pathfinder") and Chester, owned by Liam Bilby and, later, Miles O'Brien. ( DS9: " Honor Among Thieves", " Time's Orphan") William T. Riker and LaForge had bad experiences with cats, but Beverly Crusher and Deanna Troi loved them. ( TNG: " Force of Nature", " Timescape", " Phantasms") Upon describing how Jahn was to steal a bunch of communicators, the final draft script of TOS: " Miri" likewise repeatedly likened him to a cat; the script's stage directions stated that he "slips catlike" into a room where those devices were being kept, and had "a cat-eating-the- canary look on his face" as he made his getaway. Star Trek: The Next Generation Cats is an hilarious picture book for adults (or kids!) I think children would really love the pictures, but they definitely wouldn't understand the references. You really need to have watched Star Trek: Next Generation to read this, or you will simply be looking at pictures of cats in clothes! (I'm sure cat lovers would enjoy that, too!)
In 2267, the alien Sylvia demonstrated the power to assume the form of a cat. She accomplished this feat with the aid of a device called the transmuter, which was the one element of her wardrobe that did not change shape. ( TOS: " Catspaw")model builder: Balok's ship and cube (uncredited) / model builder: Romulan Bird of Prey (uncredited) (2 episodes, 1966) stand-in: female guest star (uncredited) / stand-in: Grace Lee Whitney (uncredited) / stand-in: Grace Lee Whitney and female guest star (uncredited) (66 episodes, 1966-1969) In 2257, after surviving falling debris aboard the USS Discovery, Jett Reno compared herself to a cat having nine lives, with " five more lives, at least." ( DIS: " Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2") Because Star Trek wouldn’t have happened without the U.S. space program and all the hard work that led up to it, we can’t forget the real-life cats who paved the way: Weightless cats, Bioastronautics Research
