MemberOvomorph02/3/2012Remember how Ripley's little kitty's life is spared by the Alien? The film actually makes a point on this fact by showing a closeup of Xeno hovering over Jones, and Ripley discovering Jonesy alive in his cage later.

In the Director's Cut, the scene is slightly altered. Jonesy is still spared but the Alien is shown tossing the kitty in his cage violently as if "to reject" it. Lower intelligence beings need not apply?

MemberOvomorph02/3/2012They had to put something in the film to lighten the mood. Why not smack a cat around a little bit?

MemberOvomorph02/3/2012i think the alien is stupid ..but not so stupid to bite the box ( i was something ridicolous to see too ) ...

MemberTrilobite02/3/2012If the Alien had bit the box to get to jones, jones would have unleashed some kitty kung fu on its ass...
Unless, Jones could speak to the Xeno telepathically and was ordering it to kill the crew for keep feeding reconstituted tuna, is a cat not allowed prime chunks

MemberOvomorph02/3/2012In zoos the keepers hide meat in containers so the animals have to work to get it out. Xeno is going to have to break glass to get Jonesy...
And lol @Snorkelbottom.

MemberOvomorph02/3/2012Karma..
somewhere, perhaps pet Aliens shock their Space Jockey owners when they line up dead cats as tributes on the doorstep.

MemberOvomorph02/3/2012Dogs (Alien 3) and cats should be off limits to the xeno as infecting a human is bad enough. Or as Peter Venkman said it best "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!" lol

MemberOvomorph02/3/2012In the novel, the Alien was beating the crap out of the cat box - throwing it around the cabin and jamming it into cracks and crevices - to get it open. It's not that the Alien rejected the cat, it's just that it couldn't figure out how to get the box open, and it didn't have a can opener! Scott was very keen that the audience should not see to much of the Alien, and showing it throwing the kitty around the ship probably would have given to much away.
From what i've heard, cat meat is kind of stringy anyway. I suspect though that the lazy critter that hangs around my house would be mostly fat.

MemberOvomorph02/3/2012I agree with the people that say it is because Jonesy would have unleashed a kitteh whoop-ass on the xeno. Even a xeno is smart enough to know never to mess with uncaged kitteh
example of what Jonesy would have done is viewable here:

Veteran MemberMemberOvomorph02/3/2012Xenophobe! Maybe it just wants to play with it, being part humanoid it has a soft spot for the little furry critters. They are just a little more aggressive. Being Alienated and All

MemberOvomorph02/5/2012My theories on why jonsey the cat was spared:
1. Aliens only kill beings that might be
Used as food (brain tissue), biomass to create
a new egg or posing a threat.
2. Aliens only capture certain beings that are
suited to become a host. Maybe an alien born
through a cat or a mouse is lame for the sliens.
3. Aliens were designed by the SJs to hunt
Down only humanoid beings.
4. Jonsey said to the alien: dont mess with me
or my kitten crew will kick ur ass so badly
And teabag u 24/7.

MemberOvomorph02/7/2012A cat is too small to gestate a xeno, so why would the Alien be interested. I reckon Ridley want us to think that something sinister had happened to Jones to put us off the fact that it had actually boarded the Narcisas.

MemberOvomorph02/7/2012I hope Fox are reading this topic....and they enjoy the fact that we are discussing why Xeno's don't kill cats....lol
They might just release some new info/trailer in sympathy. Then again...it is Fox....lol

MemberXenomorph02/7/2012CBT,
Reason why a xeno doesn't attack cats and really need t ostay away from dogs.
