Today, most critics believe that "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is the classic, urbane romantic comedy which was released in October 1961. But this is the film that cemented Audrey Hepburn's reputation as a film star. Additionally, it is the film where as Holly Golightly, Hepburn's cat also becomes a true star. The cat is able to get a good deal of the personal attention in the movie.

Here, the cat is referred to throughout the film as simply, “Cat”. “Poor slob! Poor slob without a name!” He might not have a name, but he’s a thumping great 'Cat,' one that is bludgeoned home not just in the film but also in Capote’s original movie text, some of which is quoted verbatim in the film’s dialogue.

“Poor slob,” she said, tickling his head, “poor slob without a name. It’s a little inconvenient, his not having a name. But I haven’t any right to give him one: he’ll have to wait until he belongs to somebody. We just sort of took up by the river one day, we don’t belong to each other: he’s an independent, and so am I.”
