I believe it! Cats are often assholes.

As someone who did acting to finance college...

I can confirm the sterotype which is:

Never act with children or animals.

Sad, but true.

May I ask why? I’m not familiar with acting stereotypes.

Because they don't just do what they're told, you have to adjust your work flow to suit them.

That's a very Brent Spiner thing to say, doesn't mean he actually hated that cat. And it wasn't just one cat playing the role anyway. Most if not all of them were good cats I'm sure.

I vaguely remember reading an interview about this though, Brent was saying the cats were terrible for not staying where they needed to be and their scenes always took ages. I don't think he hated the animals, but the resentment was real.

I've seen him make these remarks in some documentaries - I think - and it comes across as a joke.

If I spent 7 years playing my character as a boy, only to suddenly become female for the sake of a single episode where I get pregnant I'd be pissed too.

They bring in Commander Maddox to cross-examine Data.

"Did you accuse the plaintiff of only taking direction if eating tuna was involved?"

"I did."

"And do you think this is true?"

"I do."

"And you don't feel sorry at all for saying such a derogatory thing about one of your co-stars?"

"I do not."

I will say at less the actor for spot had a good time. He runs around with his tail sticking up.
