On the U.S. TV show "Alf" what was the name of the family cat and did "Alf" ever eat him?
"ALF" is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from September 22, 1986, to March 24, 1990.
"ALF" is an alien from the fictional planet "Melmac", who follows an amateur radio signal to Earth and crash-lands into the garage of the "Tanners", a suburban middle-class family who live in the San Fernando Valley area of California. The family consists of social worker "Willie", played by Max Wright, his wife "Kate", played by Anne Schedeen, their teenage daughter "Lynn", played by Andrea Elson, younger son "Brian", played by Benji Gregory and their pet cat "Lucky" (whom ALF wishes to consume).
"ALF" is a nickname , an acronym for "Alien Life Form", given to the alien by "Willie Tanner".
It is reveled during the show that on "Melmac" cats are not considered pets. They regularly eat cats and that it is as common as eating hamburgers or steaks on Earth.
Despite his occasional attempts to catch "Lucky" with the intention of making the cat a meal, when "Lucky" actually dies in the fourth season, "ALF" has come to love and respect the family pet too much to do anything untoward with "Lucky's" remains. When "ALF" acquires a new cat with the intent of eating it, he actually grows fond of it , names it "Lucky 2", and allows it to be adopted by the family, although he admits to the "Tanners" he has become the worst kind of "Melmackian", a "cat lover".
