Fun fact: that cat is the logo for Mary Tyler Moore's production company, and the cat's name is Mimsie. Mimsie was often doing a special little thing in the credits for individual series.

https://mtm.fandom.com/wiki/Mimsie

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MvwCHNfGK2M

On the series finale, Mimsie (possibly portrayed by another cat) is shown unconscious and dying on screen, connected to an IV, a heart monitor, and medical equipment; as the credits roll the heart monitor beeps and then as the credits end the heart monitor flatlines marking the end of St. Elsewhere and Mimsie's death. Coincidentally, Mimsie died shortly after the airing of this episode at the age of 20.

In conclusion: I think we've really been sleeping on Mimsie as a fanfic subject, guys. A rich text!

...wait, is the whole St. Elsewhere universe actually Mimsie's dream? I think you might have broken something open here

Ok now I kind of want to nominate Mimsie as a canon, nothing to do with this promoters fic, just having Mimsie running the production company, or having show producers having to bribe her into okaying their storylines, with every weird canon plot being down to Mimsie being cranky

She wears a lot of hats! Also may or may not have once been shot by a gunslinger in the Old West!

Someone (not me) who wants to work closely with them should suggest to the nominator that we do a general Mimsie nomination....
