Training the zombie cats in 'Pet Sematary'

Animal Trainer Melissa Millett gives us her paw-sitively honest review on what training a cast of cats for Stephen King's 'Pet Sematary' was like.

[@slim_stinaxoxo8226]

That cat pawing at her had me dead, so freaking cute!!!

[@ktroberts1687]

You can tell that guy doesn’t own a cat 😂 he’s petting that cat in the worst spot and the cat is telling him to back off

[@shnouth5391]

It doesn't look like that to me. To me.it looks like you're using the way someone likes to pet a cat to make yourself seem like some sort of expert because one time you had a cat.

[@patrickobrien5311]

Lol he's right tho, dude is petting that cat like you would a dog

[@flyingspaghettimonster8736]

Yeah you have to gently pet the cat on the head and ears. I knew a cat who would run away if you touched her back whatsoever, but still nuzzled its face right up against you.

[@sketchycat6223]

KT Roberts he’s petting him like that one friend who has a dog and has ever interacted with a cat

[@Bedevere]

My cat would have killed him within 30 seconds.

[@kurodracovalladares8823]

When Your contract demands tuna treats and Belly rubs!!!

[@TheAndrei40]

Cats don't like belly rubs

[@theoriginaleb9616]

Lord AristoCat -Absolutely right, for 99% of them. Once in a while you’ll find a weirdo cat who actually does like belly rubs. Cats roll on their backs and expose their tummies to show they trust you, because their soft bellies are a vulnerable spot that predators will try to get at. Showing their tummies is not an invitation to rub it. Good way to get scratched or bitten. Lol

[@TheAndrei40]

@@theoriginaleb9616 spot on, belly rub = claw marks

[@17moonlily]

The Original EB yeah I think I have that one weirdo that likes belly rubs. He actually demands them and purrs like crazy when he gets them. Normally I would be ecstatic! But this weirdo just plops himself wherever he feels like to demand them. His favorite spot is right in the middle of kitchen. Mind you we have a small kitchen which barely fits three people and he’s a big boy so you can imagine the amount of close calls we’ve had with almost stepping him. He doesn’t care though he still keeps doing it 😅

[@thesmilingman7576]

He/she is nice kitty

[@Cllocopine]

I mean when you pick an animal to train for a movie I’d imagine the most crucial part is that they don’t show any signs of aggression even when you try to aggravate them. Like you can try to make them annoyed and they shouldn’t do anything. Some animals may be part of violent scenes and stuff so yeah, not acting on it must be really important.

[@Tranquilbutterfly28]

He's petting that cat like a dog. You can slowly see the cat getting aggravated lol

[@guiguijol]

Thjat dude don't give a f about cats. It's clear in the way he scratch that back. the cat is well trained, good for him, he would 've lost a finger already with mine.

[@peterwalsh8486]

@@guiguijol I can empathise! Ive a cat 'Mister Mittens' from a long line of feral cats. His run-ins with vets, meter men, gardeners and Jehovah Witnesses is well documented - so much so he has earned the sobriquet 'Cesare' Mittens following a notorious Spanish/Italian familys propensity for brutal and indiscriminate acts of violence.... ..... but I love him!

[@lunaliagingerbread8291]

Thank you kind lady for being gentle and loving towards cats. I enjoyed watching the cat Tonic interacting with you. it was so sweet and reminds us of our cat Luna who looks similar to beautiful Tonic cat and our Luna's so gorgeous too, a brown fluffy tabby with a fluffy mane, and plume tail. Luna is 10 years old and just as beautiful and sweet and affectionate and attention-seeking as Tonic cat. That talk show host was wrong when he assumed a cat wants to be fed just for attention. Cats want human interaction and attention from the human caretakers they love and trust. It's a true scientific study on it. I read it on Google, where a scientific study was done on cat behavior and how much, 51% of cats crave attention from their human caretakers over food! It proves how much cats love and bond with their humans. I don't remember, but I read it in March 2019 on a recent Google search. 💕😼
