Artistic License – Biology | |
| Nine Lives (2016) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Tom, as a cat, drinks a dish full of brandy. Alcohol is poisonous to cats. Furthermore, he's less than a 20th of his human weight as well, so that amount of alcohol would be lethal even if cats could tolerate alcohol. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Nine Lives (2016) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers and commercials for the film were edited to make it look like Perkins magically transformed Tom into being a cat rather than placing his soul inside of a cat after he was gravely injured. | |

Bait-and-Switch Suicide | |
| Nine Lives (2016) / int_1b2546f2 | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Suicide: Tom's son David comes to him in the hospital while he's in his coma to tell him he's going to take a jump from the top of the company building. Tom (who is trapped in the body of his daughter's cat), fears that his son is about to commit suicide. David jumps and Tom (as the cat) follows, only for David to launch a parachute towards the bottom. It turns out he wasn't trying to kill himself, it was a publicity stunt to outshow a competitive company for trying to build a larger HQ. | |

Hollywood Law: Executives can't be summarily fired, since their employment is under contract and they have clauses that restrict this. A majority shareholder also can't do things which damage the minority shareholders' stake in the company, as continuing the tower construction would. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Nine Lives (2016) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Tom. Even before his transformation he's not really a bad guy, just too focused on business to be a good husband and father. Even his ex-wife concedes that he loved his family even if he doesn't show it. Once he was able to see firsthand how much his family missed him, he realized how much he took them for granted. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Nine Lives (2016) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: The board of directors are uninterested in expanding the tower, as at this point the only real reason for expansion would be for their company (and Tom) to be the owners of the tallest building in North America - which is becoming a waste of money. | |

Artistic License – Animal Care | |
| Nine Lives (2016) / int_82ff8b68 | comment |
Artistic License – Animal Care: When Tom’s family first adopts him as a cat they give him free reign over the house and put his food and water next to his litter box. Immediately giving a new cat free reign over a house is a terrible idea since cats need time to adjust to new surroundings while leaving food and water next to a litter box is going to get litter into the cat’s food and water. | |
