Remember how Ripley's little kitty's life is spared by the Alien? The film actually makes a point on this fact by showing a closeup of Xeno hovering over Jones, and Ripley discovering Jonesy alive in his cage later. [img]http://oi44.tinypic.com/2zta6fm.jpg[/img] In the Director's Cut, the scene is slightly altered. Jonesy is still spared but the Alien is shown tossing the kitty in his cage violently as if "to reject" it. Lower intelligence beings need not apply?

My theories on why jonsey the cat was spared: 1. Aliens only kill beings that might be Used as food (brain tissue), biomass to create a new egg or posing a threat. 2. Aliens only capture certain beings that are suited to become a host. Maybe an alien born through a cat or a mouse is lame for the sliens. 3. Aliens were designed by the SJs to hunt Down only humanoid beings. 4. Jonsey said to the alien: dont mess with me or my kitten crew will kick ur ass so badly And teabag u 24/7.

A cat is too small to gestate a xeno, so why would the Alien be interested. I reckon Ridley want us to think that something sinister had happened to Jones to put us off the fact that it had actually boarded the Narcisas.
