Did you know

• Jake the cat was played by two different Abyssinian cats: Rumple and his sister, Amber.

• Ronnie Schell, who provided the voice of the title feline, was also given the small part of an army sergeant. In post-production, it was decided that his voice was too easily recognizable, so the on-screen role was re-dubbed by another, unidentified and anonymous actor.

• In reality, Sandy Duncan is allergic to cats.
