In the movie "What We Do in the Shadows," one of the vampires, Vladislav, has the ability to shape-shift into different animals, including a black cat with his face superimposed. The cats name is Sifty and is only seen briefly in the movie. In the TV series adaptation of the movie, a cat named Sam appears as a non-human familiar to the vampires. There is a video on YouTube showing a cat auditioning for a role in the movie, but it is unclear if this cat was actually used in the film. A chase scene from the movie can be found on YouTube, as well as a clip featuring Sam the familiar from the TV series.
