- We made a bed for him.
- Oscar.
That's what we're calling him.
I know I shouldn't get attached.
- He can't just be "the cat."
- Cats are notoriously untrainable.
- Cats are always chaos 'cause they just do what they want to do.
- Cats notoriously difficult to work with.
- It's just about grabbing the tiny moments of calm that they have.
- When we read something with a cat in it, especially if there's a lot of sort of action.
I think the general consensus is, [Sigh] and then we were introduced to this little cat Humbug who plays Oscar and we just couldn't have been more wrong.
- She's wonderful.
- The world's most beautiful kitten.
- All our fears dissipated and it became an absolute joy and, and it, and it was something that I'd quite look forward to with the scene, when Oscar had to do something and just to watch him do it perfectly.
- I don't know why the rest of us bother turning up in those scenes.
I mean, nobody's looking at anything else.
I'm not looking at anything else.
- When Humbug's supposed to be asleep, you just see these two little ears pick up.
'cause every noise is just really exciting and interesting.
- Make better.
It's a good boy, - Good boy.
- You know, she just had to come on and sit down and she'd just snuggle into you.
She was, yeah, she was - wonderful.
It was an absolute joy.
Yeah, it was lovely.
It was my favorite.
It was some of my favorite scenes.
