🐈 Orangey the Cat 🐈

The only cat to win 2 PATSY Awards - From the school of animal handler Frank Inn. His 1st win was for Rhubarb the Millionaire Cat. He won again, 10 years later for his performance as Cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's, opposite Audrey Hepburn. Other roles included Mouschi, in The Diary of Anne Frank, Butch, in The Incredible Shrinking Man, + the cat in Batman (alongside Eartha Kitt's Catwoman). Orangey was an ornery actor, often described as the meanest cat in Hollywood - known for biting and scratching his co-stars - but he was prized for his ability to stay on set for long hours. Orangey had many stand-ins for his acting roles - as many as 36 different cats in his debut as Rhubarb!
