π¬ A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014), Ana Lily Amirpour
π± Masuka, tabby and white, credited in the titles as himself
π Spotted from the very first scene. Passes through almost every character's hands in Bad City: Arash, his drug-addicted father, the prostitute Atti, the vampire. Silent witness to everything.
πΌ Not originally in the film. The director wrote him in after a camera test where Masuka walked curiously into every unfamiliar space. On set they joked: "if you unzipped his fur, you'd find a dog inside." Online fans have dubbed him the Marlon Brando of cat actors.
πΏ In real life, Masuka crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2018. Devastated by the loss of Sina Sayyah, his human, the cat never recovered and passed away shortly after. But he will live forever in our hearts and on our screens.
