Shakespeare actually wrote that part In originally but had to cut it from the live performances because he couldn’t find a trained cat who would do it reliably. Shame too, it’s the most realistic part when it’s included. They didn’t spay or neuter back then so there were just always kittens everywhere. If you died a dozen or so would mess with you to make sure you weren't faking it.

My favorite part of this is that A) everyone stayed in-character as this unfolded and B) they brought the cat back on stage for the curtain call.
