A cat ( Felis catus) was a small predatory mammal from Earth, that were noted to purr when happy or content. A young cat was called a kitten. The animated series fell out of favor (and out of the Star Trek canon) in the 1980s, particularly by the time Star Trek: The Next Generation hit the airwaves, but M’Ress always been significant for me. When I was very young in the late 1970s, the live-action as well as the animated Star Treks were in reruns, and I didn’t differentiate between them. Star Trek: The Next Generation Cats is an hilarious picture book for adults (or kids!) I think children would really love the pictures, but they definitely wouldn't understand the references. You really need to have watched Star Trek: Next Generation to read this, or you will simply be looking at pictures of cats in clothes! (I'm sure cat lovers would enjoy that, too!) stunt double: Richard Tatro (uncredited) / stunt double: William Shatner (uncredited) (2 episodes, 1966-1967)
titles and opticals: Anderson / titles & opticals: Van der Veer Photo Effects (64 episodes, 1966-1969) They’re not in outer space space — they’re on a Convair C-131, and they didn’t go higher than 12,000 feet — but they’re real cats from 1947, and they’re floating in zero gravity! It was part of cruelty-free experiment in weightlessness by the U.S. Air Force’s Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories in 1947. (Here’s the full video, of which the cats are just a minute and a half.) But Star Trek brought the focus to cats, where it belonged. Here are my favorites. 1. Sylvia, Star Trek, "Catspaw"

stunt double: William Shatner (uncredited) / stunt double (uncredited) / stunt double: John Fiedler (uncredited) / stunt knight (uncredited) / stunts (uncredited) (11 episodes, 1966-1969) What’s interesting is that this episode was intended to be the pilot episode for a new television series, about the adventures of Isis and her raised-by-aliens human companion Gary Seven on Earth, but it didn’t sell. More’s the pity. 3. Lt. M’Ress, Star Trek: The Animated SeriesBecause Star Trek wouldn’t have happened without the U.S. space program and all the hard work that led up to it, we can’t forget the real-life cats who paved the way: Weightless cats, Bioastronautics Research stunt double: Michael Pataki (uncredited) / stunt double: William Shatner (uncredited) (2 episodes, 1967) stunt double: Leonard Nimoy (uncredited) / stunt double: Robert Brown (uncredited) (3 episodes, 1967) A couple of non- Star Trek cats from the fallow period between The Animated Series and The Next Generation bear mentioning. 5. Jake, The Cat From Outer Space
