Kitty Cameos: In one scene we see a woman named Catherine Martin (Brooke Smith) returning to her apartment after shopping.  As she pulls into her parking space, a cat is waiting at an open window above her.  Catherine addresses the cat as “Little Cheeper” and says she’ll be right up.

Unfortunately she doesn’t make it to her apartment and as a van drives away we see the cat still at the window.
