MAD Cat

MAD Cat is a character in the film adaptation of Inspector Gadget (1999 film) and its sequel. He is Sanford Scolex'S pet cat.

Inspector Gadget
In this film, MAD Cat is called Sniffy by his owner.

Sniffy is first seen in Scolex's limousine, parked outside of Bradford Laboratories, while Sanford's hand is seen, while watching a security camera. When Scolex orders his henchman Sikes to drive the remote-controlled van, Sniffy meows and walks up to the front and starts pawing at the remote, much to Sikes' frustration. This causes their van to crash. However, Scolex's robots roll into the lab and steal the Bradfords' equipment.

When they escape, Scolex has his hand crushed by a bowling ball owned by security guard John Brown. Sniffy is presumably taken back to Scolex's building, the Scolex Industries headquarters. He is later seen in Scolex's (now Claw's) large office, where Claw's net worth rises after he sells the machinery he stole from Bradford Labs. He steals Sikes' cruller, where Sikes chases him.

Sniffy is not seen until near the end of the film, where Claw holds him while escaping to his helicopter with Brenda Bradford, the daughter of the owner of Bradford Labs (whom Claw had murdered). Sniffy gets startled when Penny's dog Brain starts tearing up Claw's pants. Eventually, the cat is placed in SI's helicopter while Claw tries to escape. However, the helicopter is destroyed by John Brown (now known as Inspector Gadget). Claw and Sniffy jump out with parachutes. Both land in the Gadgetmobile, which cages them in. Sniffy is later seen being held by Claw as he is arrested, and swears vengeance against Gadget.
