Do we know the fate of the animal actor?

Curious if he/she appeared anywhere else or lived long after the film.

I don't know about the real cat (does the credits mention who supplied 'animal actors' to the film?).

But, he had a stunt double... And apparently H. R. Giger liked him based on the photos taken during production: :cool
Anyone know the whereabouts of the stunt cat?

Guys, thank you so much for taking and posting those photos.

Fantastic stuff.

You are so lucky to have got to see and handle those iconic pieces.

Jonesy will be happy now, maybe I can have a go at making his box and get rid of his current bag! :lol

I'm going to have a good look at those photos and I'm sure I'll have some annoying questions, but for now;

Do you know what the lid was from, it looks like it has some sort of foam insulation at its core, was it a mini refrigerator / freezer?

I always thought the 'grid' type material at the back and partially on the top of the box, was cut from the packing crate things used as flooring in Aliens.

Was the 'release handle' on the centre top added, or was it part of the grid section?

Thanks again for sharing.

Here's hoping you persuaded Bob Burns to go to Dragoncon!!!

Cheers,

Andy

There where 3 cats used for Jones IIRC and the one with Giger is his own, not one of the production cats.

Every time I see the heading "Alien cat box", I get a whole different scene in my head.
