The desperate hostage starts to write "HELP" on her gold watch, but is forced to place it on DC and smuggle him out before she can finish. The next day, Patti, DC's owner, finds the watch on him and putting two and two together, calls the FBI. Hilarity Ensues.Not to be confused with That Poor Cat.

comment
The Ghost: Mrs. Davis' unnamed sister, who as she informs the bank robbers is coming over from Australia for an extended visit, and whom she implies is even crankier and more sensitive to noise than she is, being the matron of a women's prison. Although we never actually get to see this character, her imminent arrival drastically increases the thieves' need to dispose of their unwanted "guest", Mrs. Miller. Gregory's mother to a lesser extent, as he often talks about her, especially when trying to seduce Ingrid.

Even Evil Has Standards: Although Dan is the brains of the holdup duo, as well as the tougher one, he is not as keen on killing Mrs. Miller as Iggy is. It is only after she tries to set their apartment on fire, coupled with their nosy landlady's announcement that her sister is coming over for a visit, that he concurs with his partner that their hostage must be disposed of, and the sooner the better.

Improvised Weapon: When Zeke and Patti are held at gunpoint by Dan while Patti is holding DC, Patti feigns that the cat is distressed by the situation so that she has an excuse to adjust her grip on DC without being suspicious - and then throws the cat in Dan's face, distracting him enough for Zeke to get the jump on him.

Ambiguous Syntax: Kelso follows DC to a drive-in theater, and the cat plops down in the vehicle where Patti and Canoe are. Kelso wants DC to get back on his regular route, so he gets Patti's attention and mouths "Throw him out". Not realizing that "him" means the cat, she points at Canoe in confusion with a "you seriously want me to toss my boyfriend out of the car?" look.

Bumbling Sidekick: Downplayed with Iggy, as it is clear that for all his ineptitude, he is not one to take chances with. However during the battle with the good guys, while the fight between his partner Dan and Zeke is played straight, the one between Iggy and Patti with DC is played primarily for laughs.

Nosy Neighbor: The MacDougalls. Or rather, Mrs. MacDougall; her husband tries to stop her being this, which culminates in him calling the police which she's out looking over people's walls. As the thieves' meddlesome landlady Mrs. Davis lives downstairs from their apartment, this trope qualifies her as well.

Carrying a Cake: Happens twice when Kelso is following DC through a drive-in theater. The first time, an employee carrying a tray of deserts in each hand trips over Kelso (who is crawling to avoid blocking the view for the patrons) and spills the food all over his boss. The second time, the same employee manages to deftly avoid both the cat and the agent, smiles in satisfaction, and then turns around and crashes right into his boss (who was trying to chase the Kelso out of the theater) getting the food all over the boss yet again.

Mickey Mousing: In the climactic fight, Patti kicks Iggy in the shins repeatedly, and her kicks are timed with the orchestra hits of the soundtrack - followed by a cut to Agent Kelso delivering a series of punches to Dan, that are also timed with the orchestra hits.

The Chessmaster: Patti, especially when she manipulates a discouraged Zeke and the FBI into trying one more time to follow DC, by prodding reluctant jeweler Mr. Hofstedder to give them a false tip that the gold watch found on the cat indeed belonged to kidnap victim Mrs. Miller, as his store sold it to her. It works.

Reasonable Authority Figure: The head of the FBI in the original believes Patty's story about her cat finding a kidnapped woman's wristwatch, and is willing to put a reasonable amount of time and resources into investigating. He also listens to Zeke's input when considering ending the investigation. This is less true in the remake.

The Dog Bites Back: Mr. MacDougall, after having to put up with his wife for the whole movie, finally gets his own back when he calls the police on her. Mrs. Miller makes several desperate attempts to outwit her captors, but it is only thanks to the team of DC, Patti and Zeke that she survives.

Comically Missing the Point: Canoe notices that DC is wearing a watch before Patti does, but all he takes away from the discovery is that it's past his bedtime. Also, during an inspection of the bank robbers' apartment by their cranky landlady Mrs. Davis, a dollar bill from their loot which prior to her arrival, had been accidentally blown up to the ceiling by a fan, literally falls into her hands and she happily pockets it as rent money, without even stopping to consider where it came from.
