Romo Lampkin's cat jumps on Laura Roslin's desk.

Romo Lampkin's cat is a domesticated male animal and traveling companion of Romo Lampkin, as well as one of the last items Lampkin has of his wife, who was the original owner of the cat.

Lampkin hates the cat, but keeps it as a memory of his wife. He typically carries the cat around with him in a backpack, telling Laura Roslin that he does not "bite or scratch" like his wife did. He may have used the diversion created by his animal to steal Roslin's glasses.

Later, when boarding Sharon Agathon's Raptor, the cat escapes from his bag, jumping out of the Raptor before it could be moved. Chief Galen Tyrol and his deck gang manage to corral the cat, but not before Tyrol discovers the makeshift bomb on the Raptor's undercarriage, thus thwarting Aaron Kelly's plan to kill Lampkin (The Son Also Rises).

Notes

  • As Ron Moore relates in the podcast, according to the script, the cat was supposed to run out of the Raptor, but only walked out relatively slowly. Because it's hard to teach cats how to behave, the film was sped up instead to create the illusion of running.
