Everybody says that their cat can make a good set cat.
But it does take a specific animal to be able
to stay cool and calm and collected.
'Cause when cats are done, they're done.

[Director] Action.
So, I'm Leslie Lawrence.
And I'm Michelle Smith.
And this is Leeu.
We put out a casting call for a large cat for the show
and he fit the bill.
And so far he seems to be a one-take wonder.
He's a Maine Coon and he's two years old.
He's 25 inches long, with the tail 40 inches.
He's currently 18 pounds.
Yeah, so the first thing with cats
is that they can spook easily.
So we have to make sure that the environment
that they're in, that we put them in, that they feel safe.
The second thing is to try and get him to look
exactly at camera.
So to do that, with him,
because he's pretty motivated with fast objects and he seems
to really like the tinfoil and the treat bag.
So we kind of try and get him to make the eye contact
that they want for the shot.
[Director] Cut it.
